Biggest-ever U.S. real estate show to be held in China

NEW YORK - Aug. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Shanghai – 4, August 2015. The Real Deal will host the "U.S. Real Estate Showcase & Forum" from Sept 10 -12 at the Jing’An Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai. The show will be the largest U.S. real estate event ever to be held in China. The show is expected to be attended by five thousand Chinese real estate investors and professionals.

The showcase comes at a key moment. Chinese investors comprise a tremendous market opportunity for U.S. developers and sellers. They spent an astounding $22 billion on U.S. real estate in 2014, 72 percent more than they spent just one year earlier. This investment trend is expected to grow even more with a triumvirate of market forces in China – a plunge in Chinese equities, a growth of personal credit and a Chinese housing market slowdown.

The U.S. Real Estate Showcase & Forum offers Chinese buyers the chance to immerse themselves in U.S. real estate and directly connect one-on-one with U.S. developers and real estate agents. Chinese investors are presented with an incomparable opportunity to explore investment opportunities at more than 100 U.S. residential and commercial properties, without traveling to the U.S.

The showcase will feature exclusive networking events as well as 12 panels and workshops that offer everything investors need to know to invest in the hottest real estate markets in the U.S.  The showcase will conclude with the VIP Deal Summit, a handpicked invitation-only dinner that pairs the biggest players in U.S. real estate with China's most active individual and institutional investors

Featured panelists at the event will include Eliot Spitzer, former New York governor and head of Spitzer Enterprises, Andrew Farkas of Island Capital, Ifei Chang of Greenland, top broker and reality TV star Fredrik Eklund of Douglas Elliman, former CEO of Cushman Wakefield Bruce Mosler and Kuafu CEO Shang Dai.

Other real estate luminaries who have confirmed their participation include the Witkoff Group’s Steve Witkoff, the Naftali Group CEO Miki Naftali; Stan Gale of Gale International; Town Residential CEO Andrew Heiberger; Jonathan Miller of Miller Samuel; the Sapir Organization’s Rotem Rosen; Nicholas Mastoianni II of the U.S. Immigration Fund; Nikki Field of Sotheby’s International Realty; Bernardo Fort-Brescia, founder of Arquitectonica; and many, many more.
