1. San Francisco Office Rents Pass Manhattan as Most Expensive in Country
Nick Wingfield, Bits Blog – New York Times
“Move over Manhattan: Office rents in San Francisco have eclipsed those in New York’s costliest borough as the most expensive in the country.”
2. Oculus Rift: The Price of a Sharper Vision
Dan Gallagher, The Wall Street Journal
“VR could eventually disrupt areas such as communications, retail shopping—both online as it now exists and in bricks-and-mortar stores—and services such as real estate, to name a few.”
3. Auction.com rebrands as Ten-X, the ‘future of real estate’
Ben Lane, Housing Wire
“As part of [its] expansion, Auction.com is moving beyond auctions and rebranding as Ten-X, which the company says represents its transition into an “online marketplace where buyers, sellers, and the agents and brokers who represent them can easily and efficiently buy and sell high quality residential and commercial real estate.”
4. Business schools build on real estate boom
Anna Nicolaou, Financial Times
“Real estate is the one asset where investors are almost unanimously bullish. London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo and Sydney are the main targets for direct cross-border real estate acquisitions over the next 12 months.”
5. Why The Best Investment In 2016 Might Be Global Real Estate
Kenneth Rapoza, Forbes
“The financial crisis sent ripples of change through the global jobs market, where seven years after the crash the battered banking industry remains out of vogue among MBA graduates. In its place real estate, the scapegoat for the great recession, has soared in popularity among students as the market heats up and more jobs open in the sector.”
