INVESTMENT
International
investors have a presence in the north of Spain mainly in the larger
retail commercial centres which have flourished in recent years as they
have done throughout mainland Spain.
The opportunities
for the smaller investor do exist but historically yields have not proved
to be particualrly attractive. As in other parts of europe the international
retail chains have increased their presence in the north and there is
undoubtedly an increase in investor activity in the retail sectors.
Office and
industrial investment is mainly confined to the national market, but
not exclusively, and many transactions in the booming industrial sector
are carried out on a owner occupier basis.
