Israeli real estate investments in the US since 2010 come from 55 private and public investors, 28 of them (about 50%) are private investors, and 27 of them (the remaining 50%) are institutional, About 43% of all 55 investors are publicly traded companies.

About half of the Israeli investments are in the purchase of offices, 30% in homes and apartments, 15% in commercial areas and shopping centers, and 5% in industry.

The list of countries that invest in American real estate leads by a large margin of the rest of the northern neighbor Canada, whose residents have invested more than $ 100 billion in real estate purchases since the beginning of the decade, followed by Chinese investors who invested $ 40 billion and residents of Singapore and Germany invested $ 24 billion.

“Israeli investors continue to appreciate US commercial real estate and the stability it provides,” said Richard Bloxam, Global Head of Capital Markets at JLL. “While many investors in the world preferred US offices, Israeli investors have shown willingness to invest in America’s flourishing multidisciplinary and industrial sectors.”
