COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE SECTOR 2022

About

Dienas Bizness Publishing House in collaboration with CBRE Baltics and real estate market experts are holding the Commercial Real Estate Sector conference which will take place online on 1st December 2021.

It is the second year of the pandemic, allowing us to draw valid short-term forecasts and the first long term conclusions.   Nobody is disputing 2022’s growth, but it promises to be uneven across the sectors.   Exports are rising at a record pace in many areas of manufacturing and services, while the hospitality sector continues to struggle.  Technological development and the pressures of e-commerce will continue to increase and their impact on logistics, retail, and the way we continue to adapt to “work, live and play” are profound.

As 2021 comes to a close, let us examine where public and private sector real estate policy makers see growth and opportunity in 2022 and beyond.  Real estate is not only about construction and rent proportion. It is, first and foremost, driven by country competitiveness, future perspectives and strong industries which create solid long-term occupiers.

Join us in exploring the commercial development landscape in Latvia!
