by Gary Flomenhoft

This whole Bernie thing has got people debating about what socialism is. Is it New Deal liberalism? Scandinavian welfare statism? State communism? Or what?

Nigeria has Real Estate Potential But Has Some Challenges

 Local News.
In a few ways, Nigeria appears like a real-estate investor's dream. Africa's second-largest economy posseses an emerging middle-income group eager to look in modern shops and is getting many of the world's greatest businesses, which require offices. The nation includes a lack of most forms of modern space, raising the likelihood that the market may prefer landlords for a long time to come.

But there are disadvantages to buying Nigerian property. First of all, the nation placed 96 out of 97—one above Sudan—in the Jones Lang LaSalle 2012 international real-estate visibility index, which tracks the ease and confidence investors have in buying professional real estate in certain country.

The result is a industry that's viewing more deals with large costs from opportunistic resources ready to have a chance on Nigeria's potential. But the world's greatest and most recognized investors continue to avoid the country.

Most of the active investors in the country are either local players or foreign resources that specialize in Africa. "You're not going to get the European pension money here" shortly, says Mark Bradford, chairman of property representative Jones Lang LaSalle in sub-Saharan Africa. "There is very little of a industry [for them] here however, however the possible is huge."

The foreign players in the country contain Actis LLP, a London-based private-equity company with $1.7 thousand dedicated to Africa. Their Nigeria jobs are the Ikeja Town Mall, a 307,000-square-foot mall in Lagos. The development, which cost $100 million, exposed in 2011 and presently is occupied with tenants such as Africa's greatest food shop Shoprite Holdings Ltd. and Samsung Technology Co.

Actis is paying about $100 million to produce the 194,000 square-foot History Position company creating in Lagos, which is collection to start in 2015. "Nigeria from an global perception has attracted more curiosity during the last 2 or 3 years," says Brian Morley, mind of real estate at Actis.

One of the numerous difficulties experiencing foreign real-estate investors may be the paucity of industry data. Unlike other areas, investors can have difficulty finding data with fundamental data such as option rates, source, leasing activity and property ownership.

To make sure, the few real-estate data available reveal the country's potential. Like, excellent company rents reach as large as $70 a square meter each month in Lagos, the highest in sub-Saharan Africa excluding South Africa, in accordance with Broll Home Solutions Ltd., element of CBRE Party Inc. The next best is Accra, Ghana, at $37 a square meter.

But buying Nigeria is not for the weak of heart. The Jones Lang LaSalle report places the nation in the "opaque" category of visibility, meaning Nigeria suffers from components of problem, insufficient fundamental knowledge and poor environmental sustainability applications when creating large-scale properties.

In Nigeria, "real estate can be rife with problem all through the procedure," says Obi Nwogugu, who runs a finance at African-american Capital Alliance with $165 million in real-estate assets in West Africa. The finance this season accomplished a $36 million company creating on Victoria Area in Lagos that's being leased to Common Electrical Co.
