Executive Summary
- Although Latin American economies may not be as strong this year as last, growth will be solid, which will lead to improving performance in commercial real estate markets. Property sales volume should keep rising, albeit not back to 2008 levels. Demand for space will generally be robust, with performance varying by country and sector.
- Stock markets in Latin America rallied in 2010, with IPOs making a comeback after being non-existent for a couple of years. The evolving Latin American capital markets are poised to become the next main source of funding for the real estate sector.
- Demand for retail space in Mexico is slowly improving. Growing consumer spending in South America is fueling development of retail space throughout the region.
- The delivery of new supply has resumed in Latin American office markets. Vacancy rates differ greatly throughout the region, as they are tied to the strength of the local market.
- Credit for housing is increasing from both government-supported programs and private banks. Government agencies have set ambitious goals to finance low-income housing in 2011, while bank credit is helping to support the development of mid- to high-income housing.
