Back to agenda Retail Megatrends Bridging Continents: Real Estate Development Challenges and Opportunities Across Europe and Latin America Thu 02 Oct | 13:15 - 14:00 AUDITORIUM JLL Premium VIP Real estate markets on both sides of the Atlantic are entering a new cycle defined by lower interest rates, increasing investor confidence, and pressing needs for housing, logistics, and energy-efficient assets. While Europe is confronting regulatory pressure, ESG mandates, and supply shortages of prime space, Latin America is seeing growing capital inflows, urban expansion, and demographic-driven demand. This high-level dialogue brings together leaders of the main developers’ associations from Europe and Latin America to explore how their markets are responding to global trends, from affordability and sustainability to capital allocation strategies. Participants will debate shared challenges, such as financing, regulation, and construction costs, as well as opportunities for collaboration, cross-border investment, and knowledge transfer.
