The company points out that in 2017 "there have been very large investments in sectors such as residential or alternative investments where capital did not enter before. There have been very important land transactions, for example, from Neinor, Vía Célere or Metrovacesa. " "Money is still cheap in Europe and real estate is a very attractive alternative."
