Real Estate

Today’s real estate industry must adopt new approaches to address regulatory requirements and financial risks, whilst meeting the challenges of expanding globally and achieving sustainable growth. Ernst & Young’s Global Real Estate Center brings together a worldwide team of professionals to help you achieve your potential — a team with deep technical experience in providing assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services. The Center works to anticipate market trends, identify the implications and develop points of view on relevant industry issues.

Luxembourg has emerged as the leading domicile in Europe for vehicles investing directly in internationally diversified real estate portfolios. Key factors behind Luxembourg’s success include the flexible legal and fiscal environment, the ability to structure cross-border investment strategies and investors’ desire to diversify their portfolios.
The 2007 Specialized Investment Fund law significantly simplified the rules for setting up structures such as real estate funds in Luxembourg, further enhancing Luxembourg as a “domicile of choice” for such products. This is a further boost to the Luxembourg real estate investment fund market, which was already growing strongly.

The Ernst & Young Luxembourg Real Estate Group provides launch, transaction and on-going services. It plays a leading role in developing guidelines, working papers and market analysis, in collaboration with the relevant industry organisations.
