Prominent industry figures including Sam Zell, Barry Sternlich, and Bill McMorrow analyze a global real estate landscape characterized by $320 billion in capital flows and a strategic shift away from high-leverage speculation toward stable, yield-focused asset classes. The discussion highlights distinct regional opportunities such as Irish and Latin American growth against European recession, while addressing operational challenges like rising security costs and the integration of physical retail with digital channels. Ultimately, the panel concludes that the United States offers the superior risk-adjusted returns for the coming year, driven by currency stability and disciplined underwriting in staple sectors like multi-family housing and net lease properties.
