One of the most important factors we consider when deciding where to invest capital is the transparency of a real estate market. This encompasses the transparency of market fundamentals and investment performance, as well as:

• its legal and regulatory transparency,
• the prevalence of listed vehicles,
• the transparency of transactions processes, and
• the transparency of reporting on sustainability factors.

During times of heightened uncertainty, transparency is more important than ever as a foundation that allows real estate occupiers, investors and lenders to operate and make decisions with confidence.

Our latest ISA Focus report, Transparency and Strategy, explores these factors and their implications for real estate investors. We release this report alongside the Global Real Estate Transparency Index (GRETI) for 2024. GRETI is a joint publication between LaSalle and our parent company, JLL, which is based on a global survey of our extensive network of real estate market experts.
