While we sit and gaze at the investment opportunities in the country as less than stellar, Australians looking at our economy see a positive opportunity to invest in the commercial side of the real estate spectrum in the United States. Executives at Macquarie, an Australian Investment Fund, are bullish on the American commercial real estate market.
While many fund managers are promoting the advantages of investing in developing real estate markets in regions such as Asia, chief executives at Macquarie feel the US is still an attractive market for investors due to factors like cultural similarities to Australia as well as recent market trends.
“The US market is the biggest, most obvious and easiest in a lot of ways because they have a law we understand, they speak a language we understand, and they respect property rights,” Macquarie DDR Trust chief executive David Dix said.In particular, trends affecting both the US discount commercial convenience real estate and the US distribution warehouse sectors have made them particularly attractive for investors looking to earn a steady income stream from rents.
