On the 25th and 26th of June, the Spain Real Estate Summit comes to Madrid, taking place at La Finca the UZalacaín space, to debate the attractiveness of Spain as an investment destination, and where the main opportunities may be for the future.
In the dynamic world of real estate, asset transition, repurposing and upgrading existing obsolete buildings are imperative to stay ahead in the market.
The conversion of these underused buildings is emerging as a response to challenges such as land scarcity and housing demand, as well as the search for a more sustainable building stock. This trend has led to the transformation of these buildings into more competitive assets, revitalising the areas in which they are located.
But what does transitioning really mean and what are its objectives? Is it an investment or a cost?
To debate the skillsets required and what benefits does transitioning bring to an asset, James MacNamara, Head of Operating Strategies, Schroders, Riccardo Dallolio, Managing Director & Head of the H.I.G Real Estate Funds in Europe, and Cristina García-Peri, Managing Director & Partner, Azora, will share the stage on the second day of the Spain Real Estate Summit. This roundtable discussion will be moderated by Richard Betts, Co-Founder and Head of Content of Real Asset Media.

A 2-day intense conference
The SPAIN REAL ESTATE SUMMIT, which is organised in collaboration with CBRE and JLL, comes at a crucial time and in a challenging environment, influenced by the geopolitical situation, and will be a unique initiative for a deep collective reflection by leaders in analysis and opinion and references in the world of economics and investment in the real estate sector.
The macroeconomic situation, the reconversion of assets, new financing models, the production of a greater volume of affordable housing or the effect that new technologies and the deployment of AI have on the real estate sector will be some of the issues to be debated.
The SPAIN REAL ESTATE SUMMIT will also feature parallel sessions to generate maximum interaction between participants, which will cover complementary topics such as investment in retail, hotels, logistics and data centres, allowing investors to take an active part in the debate by expressing their concerns and expectations.
