THE BRITISH LAND COMPANY PLC 6 What are REITs? www.propertyweek.co.uk What are REITs and why are they important? I The introduction of the Real Estate Investment Trust model is being hailed as the most significant development in the UK property industry for a number of years. It is expected to boost publicly-listed companies as vehicles for investment in real estate, writes Stephen Hester, CEO British Land UK REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITs) will be the generic name for listed British property companies opting into a new tax regime beginning 1 January 2007. The regime allows companies to be free of income and capital gains tax, in exchange for one-off tax payments. The companies also submit to a light- touch regulatory regime, including requirements to pay higher dividends, and certain restrictions on capital structure and business focus. The model has been in existence in other countries for many years and has flourished in www.propertyweek.co.uk What are REITs? 7 8 What are REITs? www.propertyweek.co.uk the US, Australia, France, Netherlands, A GREAT OPPORTUNITY THAT WILL NEED Japan and Singapore.

Understanding how to negotiate these challenges will require collaboration, new industry standards and the application of technology. Those real estate investment managers best able to weather this storm will be those who are most innovative and best at adopting emerging technologies. While it is clear that the real estate investment management sector is at the beginning of a process of digital transition, there are many barriers inhibiting the widespread application of technology. This is most likely due to the lack of a regulatory framework and industry standards regarding the ownership and sharing of digital data, as well as a lack of knowledge of the available solutions.

    University of Oxford Research PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE WWW.SBS.OXFORD.EDU PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate Right now, thousands of extremely clever people backed by billions of dollars of often expert investment are working very hard to change the way real estate is traded, used and operated. It would be surprising, to say the least, if this burst of activity – let’s call it PropTech 2.0 - does not lead to some significant change. No doubt many PropTech firms will fail and a lot of money will be lost, but there will be some very successful survivors who will in time have a radical impact on what has been a slow-moving, conservative industry. How, and where, will this happen? Underlying this huge capitalist and social endeavour is a clash of generations. Many of the startups are driven by, and aimed at, millennials, but they often look to babyboomers for money - and sometimes for advice. PropTech 2.0 is also engineering a much-needed boost to property market diversity. Unlike many traditional real estate businesses, PropTech is attracting a diversified pool of talent that has a strong female component, representation from different regions of the world and entrepreneurs from a highly diverse career and education background. Given the difference in background between the establishment and the drivers of the PropTech wave, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement about the level of disruption that PropTech 2.0 will create.
