I am proud to announce the introduction of the US Real Estate Economics Service, the first extension to our recently-launched Real Estate Economics Service.

The new service helps companies understand the implications of macroeconomic, geopolitical, financial and climate change on private and public real estate performance in the US. The first globally consistent and independent set of real estate forecasts, the service offers regular analysis and commentary from our highly experienced team of real estate economists.
