PropertyEU was launched 10 years ago to focus on real estate investment deals in Europe, identifying who’s investing in what, where, why and how in European commercial real estate. To mark our anniversary we want to invite you to highlight the best investment transactions and most innovative dealmakers by celebrating the Deal of the Decade and launching the new annual Deal of the Year Awards.
