UNLOCKING THE CASH:
DEPLOYING THE CAPITAL

The Most Important Conference in Q1 Returns on March 3

As the new year begins, the Canadian real estate market is moving from a period of significant uncertainty to one with considerable more promise.

REITs have raised a war chest of over $2 billion. Acquisitions have started to occur. Some lifecos and pension funds have announced that they are committing $1B respectively to their lending books for the coming year. Many private funds and individuals are standing on the sidelines armed with capital.

To what extent will investors start to increase pulling the trigger on buying? Can owners of all types of assets expect to have easier access to capital?

Conservative underwriting and an aversion to risk continue to be discussed at the water coolers.

As a result, there is no unanimous agreement as to where cap rates, asset values and transaction activity will be in the coming year.
 

Bringing Together Users of Capital with Sources of Capital: Addressing the Key Issues

RealCapital 2010 will focus on these key issues and trends by bringing together owners and investors with sources of public and private equity investment and debt financing in the Canadian real estate market. Some of the important questions that will be addressed at the conference include:

  • To What Extent Will the Dealmaking and Liquidity Increase in 2010?

  • What will be the Major Sources of Capital and How Will They Price Risk?

  • What Strategies are Investors and Entrepreneurs Using to Finance Their Activities?

The 2010 program will provide a unique, high-level business forum that will examine these themes, address key issues, assess emerging trends, and discuss effective strategies for real estate investment and financing for office, industrial, retail, and multi-residential sectors in the current environment across the country.

Over 600 executives from across Canada are expected to attend this special one-day conference. Please note, RealCapital 2010 will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre South Builidng.

In keeping with the strong reputation of the forums, RealCapital will present high-quality speakers on very topical issues at a relatively low registration fee.

The conference will also provide a great opportunity to network with experts and decision-makers responsible for real estate investment and financing today.

We hope that you will take advantage of this unique and very informative event.
