Abstract
Real estate investment is becoming increasingly international. Deregulation and integration of global capital markets, growth of emerging market economies, demographic trends in developed economies, and geopolitical and sociocultural changes the world over are presenting opportunities for international real estate investors in a fascinating, complex and interconnected market place. Latin America seems to be one of the last frontiers still unexplored by international real estate investors. Colombia in particular is making quiet and steady efforts to internationalize its economy and welcome Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Among the policy-makers' long-term goals, Colombia aspires to become one of the three most competitive countries in Latin America by the year 2032. International real estate investors need to adapt their tools and techniques to underwrite new and uncharted markets that present investment opportunities. This thesis proposes a comprehensive strategic framework for international real estate investments, by adapting from selected business academic literature and real estate industry practice different decision-making approaches. The purpose of the thesis is twofold. First, by proposing a strategic framework, the work intends to contribute to the development of strategic decision-making literature in international real estate investment. Second, by utilizing the strategic framework to study selected issues and variables that are deemed relevant or pertinent to the commercial real estate market in Bogota, it attempts to serve as a resource to international real estate investors interested in the market.
