Preface

It is with great pleasure that we launch the 2nd edition of Deloitte’s Portuguese Real Estate Investment Survey. This survey analyses the insights of a selected panel of participants who act in the Portuguese real estate sector.

Our goal is to better understand the Portuguese real estate dynamics trend, analysing the investment and disinvestment strategies according to current and future circumstances. We address financial and strategic topics concerning real estate business which we considered to be useful for understanding the dynamics of the industry.

This initiative’s success depended, above all, on the involvement and participation of the Selected Panel, whom we thank in advance for its proactive contribution by sharing their experience with us, allowing to identify the main trends of the sector’s development.

We are at your entire disposal to discuss any relevant question.
