Shari'ah-compliant investment structures enable Islamic investors to finance their investments while respecting typical corporate, credit and tax considerations. Islamic investors seek to finance their investments in ways that avoid the payment of interest, but they also look to abide by other Shari'ah requirements. For example, Islamic investors are prohibited from investing in companies (or in the case of real estate, from leasing to companies) that are engaged in activities that are considered to be harmful or un-Islamic

Property markets in east Germany. Let’s be honest – who does not, at the mention of “real estate in east Germany”, immediately think of how the markets were overstated in the mid-1990s? And which property specialist doesn't knit his brow as he recalls the handling of the tax gifts back then or the vacancy rates of more than 20 %?
GVA Worldwide's European Office Market Review suggests that strengthening economic conditions continue to boost the demand for office space. Overall take-up levels continue to rise and this trend is expected to continue into 2007. Rental growth has been evident in many markets and has been strongest in those markets which have been in the rental recovery phase longest. Vacancy rates are generally declining, as they were six months ago and this trend is expected to continue as occupier demand remains strong throughout 2007
The volume let in the fourth quarter of 2006 on the major European office markets once again increased by an extraordinary degree. Strong demand for rental space supports the investment market, which continues to be characterised by an excess of demand over supply for good properties and thus falling yields. "11.6 million square metres of office space was let in the previous year in the 22 major European cities investigated", said Bernd Kottmann, member of the Board of Directors for finances and portfolio management at IVG
Colliers PropertyPartners report for the property investment markets of Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart shows that 2006, with a transaction volume of over EUR 21.5bn, was 116 % more than 2005. The German economy grew strongly in the year 2006. The Gross Domestic Product in 2006 was 2.5 % higher than the previous year. This is the strongest economic revival since the boom year 2000. The stimuli to growth came both from the domestic market and from abroad. The unemployment rate dropped to 9.6 %.
Dr Thomas Beyerle, head of research at DEGI (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Immobilienfonds) explains the different strategy concepts: The word “strategy” is probably one of the most important words, and one of the most dangerous, in business. Important because without setting a long-term goal, market players cast themselves and their products adrift on the market without bearings and are ultimately doomed to failure. Dangerous because hardly any strategy can be followed to the letter, i.e. without the players resorting to tactical steering in the face of external factors.
A report by Colliers PropertyPartners for the office property markets in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart: The German economy finds itself in an upturn. Turnover and profits of the companies are increasing. The gross domestic product (GDP) in 2006 increased by 2.5 % compared with the previous year. A higher rate of growth was reached by Germany after the reunification only in the years 1994 and 2000. Consequently the level of economic activity also affected the office market
