Real estate and retailing today

Article Abstract:

Holiday retail business figures in 1998 indicated that the retailing business remained robust and healthy despite the Asian financial crisis. This in turn resulted into a better than projected performance for retail real estate. Total retail real estate returns jumped to 12.5% in 1998 from 5.3% in 1997. Continued opportunities for growth are expected in both the retail sector and the real estate that it supports. Real estate investors are expected to realize strong returns between 1999 and roughly 2004.
