The team is back from a successful week in Cannes for MIPIM 2025, having reconnected with industry peers and formed new connections. Reflecting on the event over the past few weeks, the team is optimistic about the remainder of 2025.
Despite the rain, MIPIM was bustling with activity and a sense of cautious optimism alongside hot topic discussions around the direction the industry is going in.
Key takeaways from the event include:
- A positive mood amongst those in the industry with optimism towards schemes moving forward over the course of the year.
- Challenges remain in the residential market, triggered by the Building Safety Act and the cost and time to comply and obtain approval.
- The commercial real estate market is especially optimistic due to employees returning to the office, married with a shortage of l high quality, amenity-rich, and sustainable office spaces, indicating positive growth for the end of 2025 and beyond.
- Challenges remain around dated assets and the need to upgrade them to comply with tightening EPC regulations. This remains a key area for investment.
Overall, despite challenges, there are opportunities to leverage both new technology and sustainability measures to achieve sustainable outcomes for both investors and end users.
