Tap Rising Opportunities in Myanmar’s Extensive Real Estate Projects

 

“The former FMI Center, a downtown Yangonlandmark, will debut its new face this week as the first internationally-invested shoppingcentre in Myanmar”

- May 2013, Myanmar Times

 

“Myanmar government has allocated land for foreign investors to build 100 hotels and local investors to build 192 hotels at the new Tada-U hotel zone near Mandalay.” 

-Jan 2013, The Nation

 

Burgeoning demand, revised regulations and new opportunities are driving Myanmar’s property sector – from refurbished office spaces to serviced apartments to retail outlets. As the country opens up, investments are flowing in to meet the acute shortage of hotels, residential buildings and mixed-use projects. Cities like Yangon and Mandalay are moving ahead recreating themselves as economic and tourism hubs. Old heritage buildings are conserved and retrofitted to commercial entities. Special economic zones like Thilawa&Dawei are bringing in an influx of international investors and sprucing urban and township development. The new tiger economy is attracting big hoteliers like Hilton, Best Western and Keppel to build new hotels to meet tourism demand.

 

As Myanmar’s real estate and property development gleams with golden opportunities, have you identified your niche in the market? Are you able to gain access to the extensive land banks? Are you seeking and cementing JV partnerships to develop property in Myanmar? How soon before foreigners be allowed to purchase and own condominium units?
