Foreign Appetite For US Commercial Real Estate Continues to Grow

Despite potentially higher yields in countries like India and China, foreign countries invested approximately $20 billion dollars in large commercial properties in the United States according to Real Capital Analytics, a New York City based research firm. According to the report the top five foreing investors in order of invested capital were The Middle East, Australia, The Pacific Rim, Canada and Germany.

Because of its diversied market, commercial real estate in the United States is still considered to be one of the safest investment while still providing the opportunity for capital appreciation.
