Development of Managed Real Estate–International Case Studies on Principles and Success Factors

摘要

New types of large mixed-use developments of properties run by specialist operating companies prove in many western European countries their potential to attract purchasing power, create jobs and income for the local population beside other desired positive external effects. These new types of mixed-use developments are a response to the continuous rapid social, economic, environmental and cultural changes which today's modern cities are facing. The case-study research of twenty-five successful developments of managed real estate with new types of mixed-use, also defined as managed facilities, between Barcelona and Berlin clearly highlights the principles, processes and success factors involved as well as the risks which need to be considered–representing a first step towards understanding and managing real estate development as an open dynamic system and hopefully towards more and new types of these desired developments. The project was funded by Deutsches Seminar fur Stadtebau und Wirtschaft (DSSW) in Berlin.
