Manubens Lawyers had a successful 3 days this year at MIPIM, the world’s leading property market. Every year, the world’s most influential international property players descend to MIPIM to engage with likeminded professionals from the real estate world. Over 23,000 senior executives from the commercial, residential, retail, healthcare, sport, logistics and industrial sectors attended this year’s Mipim.

Manubens Real Estate Team was represented by senior partner Eduardo Garcia and Head of International Development Mandeep Johal both with valuable international real estate legal and business experience.   

In recent years, foreign investment into the Spanish real estate market has swelled and this was supported by the number of delegates who attended the Spanish Conference "Why is Spain the new place to Invest?”.  With every seat taken by the 200 plus seminar attendees, there is a clear sign that this upward investment trend is likely to continue.

Manubens were fortunate to share the exhibition stand with a number of other important Catalan professionals in the real estate sector, all as part of the Barcelona Catalonia stand. This provided investors a great opportunity to obtain all the information they required from under one hub. Whether that would be from Architectural advice to Legal insight, our stand provided to be a great area for those interested in investing in Catalunya.

The Barcelona Catalonia stand also held a number of short talks and Manubens Lawyers were proud to have participated in a round table on “The Real Estate opportunities in the office sector in Catalonia”.  Together with CBRE Barcelona, Forcadell Real Estate and Campus Diagonal-Besos Project, this round table discussion gave investors a deeper insight into new projects within Catalunya.

After a number of subdued years, the Spanish investment market is clearly on the rise.  Companies such as Amazon have recently invested in a new logistics centre in Barcelona, to serve not only Spain but also the rest of Europe.  This is paving the way for other major international companies to see the real advantages of doing business in Spain.  One thing is for certain, more and more companies are likely to follow suit.

See you at MIPIM 2018!
