Start the conference in style...

Join real estate and property developers, professionals, financial officers, civil engineers, architects, building and construction developers, colleagues and conference speakers to network over drinks and enjoy a buffet lunch. All registered delegates are invited to attend.

Economists, consultants and industry specialists will provide an update on the real estate industry development, both through geographical and industry perspectives. The purpose of the session is to provide an overview of what’s hot and happening in the market including a focus on block-chain as well as market and financial trends that may impact the industry in the coming years.

EU Cross-border real estate development transactions

Real-estate development transactions practitioners will share their current, firsthand experience in solving issues arising while handling and managing complex cross-border real estate development transactions. This interactive session will dive deeply into their experience and explore trends and benefit from their tips. Our speakers are well experienced lawyers and industry leaders hailing from diverse backgrounds and jurisdictions. They will provide unique and exciting case studies to discuss and learn from.

Regulatory trends in the commercial real estate development in Malta

Regulation is one of the most important factors shaping the commercial real estate development business. Today, regulation is having more influence over this industry than ever, and it seems that such influence will only increase in the future. Zoning limitations, adverse effect mitigation measures and many other restrictive requirements are already part of the rules of the game. Speakers will discuss what regulatory changes affecting developers and commercial real estate development projects might face around the world. Will you be prepared to adequately deal with them?

How technology changes the real world: electric mobility, self-driving cars and drones

Modern technologies influence real estate investments. Electric cars increase the need for charging stations and may change the look of the typical gas stations. Will self-driving cars reduce or increase traffic? Self-driving cars may reduce the demand for public transport, increase car sharing, and local parking demand. Drones may open new logistic

routes. How can investors prepare to tackle the challenges of uncertain effects of technological change?

Financing real estate development: the value is not enough

A real estate loan without the collateral from the real estate object is quite uncommon, but which objects are embraced by the term ‘real estate development’. Furthermore, what are the criteria for their financing and how can an investor grant long-term recoverability. What are the major benefits of covered bonds for the creditor and the borrower? These are a few issues regarding the topic of financing real estate, which shall be discussed in this panel of industry and legal experts.

Squaring the circle: innovative asset management and add-value-strategies in times of high prices

The real estate developers know that the market is reaching new heights: top assets are very expensive and the return is low. The policy of low interest European Central Bank, however, forces institutional developrs/investors to find investment opportunities in order to avoid negative interest. This situation requires alternative strategies to find assets, which require an add-value strategy to earn the necessary gains for the investors. The speakers on this panel have long-term market experience in innovative and add-value asset management strategies and will explain the key factors for a successful add-value strategy. The speakers will also explain what major needs and aims institutional investors have in order to find and successfully develop such add value assets to square the circle

Absolutely no tolerance for defects and delays:

Strategies for perfect completion in the construction of time-critical projects All construction is time critical but some projects are more so. Representatives from owners, developers, construction companies and lawyers discuss contractual arrangements and organisational means to ensure good and timely performance in time critical projects. The session will feature the new exhibition facilities for the Basel World as an example.

The real guide to real estate developers’ disputes

Real estate development cross-border transactions can result in significant litigation in multiple jurisdictions. This workshop of dispute resolution experts will discuss how to best prepare for such disputes already when drafting the contract and how to best act once a dispute has arisen.

Competing for investments: how to attract large companies

The session will focus on the needs of large corporates for new offices and production premises and how they decide where to invest. Representatives from developers to destination marketing will explain their strategies. The session may feature as example Biogen’s Swiss experience in deciding where to build an ultra-modern biopharmaceutical manufacturing plant.

Again the technology!

– The shake through the shopping world

Retailer representatives, retail real estate agents and practitioners discuss how changing customer behaviour influences inner-city micro locations, shop concepts, mall concepts and logistic needs. Resulting practical drafting advice for retail leases is discussed by the specialists.
