European real estate investment prospects in parking infrastructure 2014-2017

This statistic shows the prospects of investment in parking infrastructure on the real estate market in Europe from 2014 to 2017. The appetite for the long-term specialty commercial property investments on the European market has been going strong, amid relatively volatile political changes of 2016. What is generally understood as specialist commercial real estate includes, but is not limited to, automotive property (such as parking properties etc.), hotels, student dormitories, healthcare properties and R&D centers. The specialist properties typically offer relatively longer lease term agreements and index-linked rents. When it comes to parking infrastructure, approximately 56 percent of respondents expected good prospects of investment in that subsector in 2017. This share, combined with seven percent expecting very good conditions, and 31 percent expecting fair conditions, brings the optimism levels among the industry experts, investors, fund managers, developers, lenders and brokers up to 94 percent of the studied sample. However, it is a slight decrease in optimism compared to 2016, when 100 percent of the sample was positive about the investment prospects in this area.
