Living is as safe as houses

Our two yearly poll of global institutional investors reveals that the prospects for the next decade remain very strong. Four years on from the launch of our first Future Living report, we continue to see an evolution in how real estate investors are looking at the Living sector. It’s the part of the market where we have held the strongest conviction over the past decade.
