Where are the best resi markets in Europe?

Westgrund's recent acquisition of 800 apartments in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt illustrates how the German residential investment market stretches beyond the Big 7 cities. Further afield, Dublin and its residential market - long a no-go area for real estate investors - are very much back on the radar.

Identifying the best opportunities for residential investment in these markets and across the wider European stage is the main topic of PropertyEU's first Investment Briefing of 2014.

The European Residential Investment Briefing takes place between 8 am and 10.30 am on 21 January at CBRE's European headquarters at Henrietta House in the West End of London.

The panel includes representatives of two leading investors in residential real estate: Marcus Cieleback is head of research at Patrizia and Thomas Landschreiber is chief operations officer at Swiss turn-around specialist Corestate Capital.

Patrizia, a German listed property company, is one of the leading residential property investors in Europe, having led the acquisition of billion-euro apartment portfolios in Germany in recent years. It has also expanded into the Nordics and other European markets. Corestate's business model is to acquire underperforming portfolios and to actively manage them to create an institutional-grade product for resale.

The panel is augmented by two of CBRE's top residential sector experts: Mark Collins, chairman of residential for CBRE UK and Jennet Siebrits, head of residential research for CBRE's UK business. They are joined on the panel by Mark Weedon, head of UK alternative real estate at the IPD.
