Real-estate hot spots draw the world’s affluent Add to ...

Wealthy people often have business and investment interests around the globe. As such, they are drawn to foreign real estate . Canada’s high-net-worth residents are no exception, says Winston Chesterfield, director of custom research at Wealth-X, which provides market data on wealthy individuals. “They do these purchases primarily as investment decisions, and secondly, there’s this interesting balance between lifestyle and necessity,” says Mr. Chesterfield, who is based in London, referring to Canada’s nearly 8,600 ultra-high-net-worth residents (according to Wealth-X’s most recent survey) with more than $30-million in assets each. “Their businesses often have a global reach, so their habits in terms of property purchasing tend to be a lot more sophisticated than buying a ski lodge,” Mr. Chesterfield says. The fabulously wealthy gravitate to major cities and other desirable locales – be it for business, pleasure or both. Among the hot spots are these well-known destinations as well a...

Owners of Ann Arbor's Hidden Valley Club apartments seek to avoid foreclosure on $18 million CMBS debt

Image
Lon Horwedel | AnnArbor.com Ann Arbor’s Hidden Valley Club apartment complex is a local example of a $ 70 billion national real estate problem : Securitized commercial loans that are in default. A foreclosure notice on the 324-unit complex near Briarwood was filed in late April, despite months of ongoing conversations initiated by the owner to modify the loan. The loan itself - which totals $18.1 million - is complicated, since it’s one among billions in real estate investments that were repackaged and sold to Wall Street investors during years of peak real estate prices . So are the circumstances behind the loan default, said Hidden Valley Club co- owner Jeff Starman . The most obvious is the drop in the property’s value as rental rates fell below levels to cover loan payments . Other factors include a national real estate climate in which banking consolidations after the lending crisis and the sheer volume of properties in securitized loans - known as Commercial Mortgage B...

The long retail spine of Sydney Road, Brunswick, just north of Melbourne's CBD, was once a prosperous trading outpost on the way to the goldfields. These days it's a bohemian mix of variety stores, op shops, halal butchers and Lebanese bakeries. Take a side street to the west, however, and a different picture emerges. Sandwiched between Sydney Road and the Upfield train line is an area undergoing rapid and widespread transformation. Light industry is fast being replaced by mid- rise apartment buildings , their inhabitants attracted by the short commute into town and cheaper prices than in the city's south-east. The quality of these units is, on the whole, depressingly bad; think poor ventilation and bedrooms that "borrow" natural light (a weasel word for being dark and windowless). The occasional jazzy façade tries feebly to make up for otherwise cheap construction amid a chorus of greys. At ground level, carpark roller doors alternate with mean pocket garden...
