IREX is an annual show that
presents investment avenues for high net worth and wealthy individuals who
intend to invest in international real estate and premium luxury properties.
IREX 2016 will have participation from over 85 leading international real
estate developers and marketing companies and is expected to draw more than
5000 visitors due to an intensive and targeted marketing campaign.
Singapore, Malaysia, New York,
Dubai and various cities in the UK predominantly London - are the preferred
destinations for Indian property buyers, according to property analysts.
Because of the current ceiling on how much an Indian can invest abroad in a
financial year (USD 250,000 per annum), central city locations are out of reach
for a large number of aspiring Indian buyers. This makes peripheral locations,
which tend to be cheaper, attractive to such buyers. The US or the UK are
doubtlessly closest to the hearts of most Indians hoping to buy property
abroad. With global agencies like Fitch predicting a 25% fall in property
prices in the UK after Brexit, and the depreciating pound, the time seems
perfect for Indians looking to secure a good investment in cities of choice.
IREX presents a unique opportunity to international real estate and financial
companies to tap the growing Indian market for international investments in
this environment.
As part of its industry
initiative, the organisers of the show have launched IREX Business Connect.
IREX is bringing Indian property brokers in touch with international property
developers, so that they can work for them as their sales agents in India. This
opens new business avenues for the Indian property brokers and new investment
opportunities for investors.
The show is timed with the annual
festive season which is considered auspicious for new investments by Indians.
As per the recent wealth report of a reputed London based firm Knight Frank,
India’s high net worth individuals are heavily investing in real estate in
other countries; and their numbers have grown 166% in the last 10 years. Almost
50% of all India’s UHNWI & HNI have foreign real estate in their
portfolios, which is highest in the world. Indians are investing in
international properties for appreciation in value, end use or rental earnings.
Several international banks offer loans to non-residents in UK, UAE, US at
interest rates that are considerably lower than the rates prevailing in the
Indian market that makes these deals more attractive.
The upcoming edition, which is
going to be held in October 2016, have confirmed participants like Damac
Properties, Colliers International, Knight Frank, Shaikhani Group, Rak
Properties, Invest US, Century 21, Compass, McMillan Hathaway, Emaar
Properties, Sotheby’s International Realty, Trafalgar, R.P.Global, Herald,
Aristo, Ray White etc.
IREX will present investment
opportunities in high end Residential, Commercial, Hotel & Leisure etc.
Leading international companies involved in community and master development,
high rise buildings, premium residential towers, office towers, hotel and
leisure facilities, retail outlets will be exhibiting their latest projects.
Real Estate Investment opportunities in US, Canada, UK, Europe, UAE, Sri Lanka,
Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand will be showcased at
the show.
According to Mr. Vimal Anand,
Director of IREX, “IREX is the only show of its kind in India that is held in
line with prestigious international realty exhibitions held around the world
that promote premium real estate investment opportunities. It offers a perfect
platform for premium Indian and international real estate companies to tap the
growing market. About 5000 visitors are expected to visit this year’s show. The
participating companies will be able to create brand awareness, exhibit their
latest project offerings and do on the spot bookings.”
Speaking on IREX Ms. Gauri Khan, "I am
happy to be associated with IREX. Indian luxury real estate buyers today, look
to invest overseas for varied reasons, from wanting a holiday home to being
close to children studying overseas. IREX is a great platform for them to
evaluate options available to them internationally. I congratulate GMN Road
Shows and Events on this initiative and wish them much success.”
