Get information on the hot topic of logistics.

Dear customers of EXPO REAL,

So much is happening: preparations for the 10th EXPO REAL, which is being held in Munich from October 8 - 10, 2007, are already underway. We want to use the time prior to the fair to keep you up to date with the most important facts and figures.

We are very pleased to report that international interest in the fair is very high. So much so, that we have expanded EXPO REAL from five halls to six. The largest increases are among companies from Central and Eastern Europe, the Russian Federation and the Gulf region.

EXPO REAL 2007 opens its gates in approximately four months. Ordering tickets is easier than ever – with quick online registration, which will be available at the website starting in June. We look forward to seeing you!

Greetings from Munich!
Sincerely,

Claudia Boymanns
EXPO REAL Exhibition Manager


		10 billion euros Investments in European logistics real estate are setting new records.

A growing number of institutional real-estate investors are focusing on logistics real estate. The reason: the above average initial rates of return that experts are anticipating. This trend is accompanied by the fact that many asset managers want to diversify the types of properties in their existing real-estate portfolios, which generally include a great deal of office property, to better spread the risk. In addition, a growing number of investment vehicles such as special closed funds have emerged that are based on logistics real estate. However, the most important factor is that investors around the world have more capital available than ever, and they are looking for investment opportunities in real estate. The segment for logistics real estate, which is small compared to office real estate but is still growing, is the answer. The volume of transactions in logistics real estate in Germany alone was more than 1.5 billion euros last year, an increase of more than 50 percent over the previous year. On June 13, 2007, EXPO REAL is hosting a special forum for users of logistics real estate. It is being held at transport logistic, the 11th International Trade Fair for Logistics, Telematics and Transport at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre from June 12 - 15, 2007. > Additional information about transport logistic > Additional information about logistics real estate

		10 years Continued growth for EXPO REAL

Good news on the home front: Since its premiere 1998, EXPO REAL has experienced continued growth and has developed into a platform for investment, business and projects in Europe. The trend is as strong as ever: Now in its tenth year, another hall is being added to EXPO REAL – an impressive 20% increase in space. > Additional information

		35 percent Cross-border investments are up

Growing investment activity is stimulating the international market: cross-border investments reached a record level last year. Continued strong activity on Asian markets is a key factor behind this development. Of course, the European and, above all, the German market for real-estate investments are also profiting from this development. > Additional information
