FGH Real Estate Report 2011: ‘Sustainably meeting demand’
The sector will be faced with new strategic choices

‘The market is too capacious, and sufficient returns will be generated only by players who are able to fulfil the needs of end users. As companies, retailers and consumers’ demands will change greatly in the coming years, the sector cannot remain idle. In future, city centre environments will pose the most significant challenge. They face complex difficulties with which all real estate professionals will have to address. In order to do so, the sector must optimise its innovative capacity and professionalism. Furthermore, the need to make existing buildings more sustainable will increase. While the coming period will in fact provide opportunities, in terms of finding solutions for outdated properties, the sector will also need to satisfy the changing nature of demand in which sustainability is playing an increasingly major role.’ These are the most important conclusions of the FGH Real Estate Report 2011. This annual market report provides a comprehensive overview of trends and developments in the commercial real estate market and the views of FGH Bank on them. On Monday 7th of March, Mrs. Annemarie van Gaal accepted the first copy from Mr. P.C. Keur, Chairman of the Board of FGH Bank.
