Telegraph about High Class Escorts
On March 8, the Telegraph and IEX wrote a column about the real estate scene in Cannes. In it, escort agency Yantra is mentioned as the escort agency that flies in various luxury escorts to entertain the real estate people.
The article is found online on the IEX website or read the full article here:
The entire real estate scene is in Cannes these days. There, from March 8 to 11, MIPIM, the annual real estate fair, is being held. Lots of square meters of exhibition floor in the Palais de Festivals and lots of hectoliters of beer.
Real estate is, if you hadn't already understood, serious business. So serious, in fact, that Cannes rudely awakens from hibernation when thousands of real estate people descend upon it. The Mipim fair is good for deals and news and less serious rumors.
For the latter, knock on the door of the Amsterdam escort agency Yantra, which flies in twenty luxury ladies, who are chauffeured in limousines to the Rolex wearers for 275 euros an hour, writes The Telegraph.
Rumors abound
Just so the backward real estate baronesses know what temptations the gentlemen barons are exposed to, because when the cat's away, not only do the mice dance. Especially with so many squeals flown in at the Mipim. Back to the twilight zone outside the (red) spotlight and on to the rumor circuit.In the real estate market, someone always has a piece of news. Corridors aplenty. For example, there are whispers here and there about the future of midcapper AM. Merger or takeover on the way? Who knows... Maybe Rabobank is a nice option. Rabobank Real Estate and AM are no strangers to each other. Mind you, we're just thinking out loud.
On the other hand, Rabobank is also already busy bundling the real estate activities of Rabo Vastgoed and FGH Bank- together accounting for a EUR 10.4 billion order book. Also, how about the Vastned funds? Keep an eye on them, because before you know it there will no longer be two, but one.
VastNed merger
A merger of Vastned Retail and VastNed Office/Industrial would no longer be unmentionable. Indeed, according to an interview in The Financial Analyst fervent advocate. Vastned Retail has money, but sees no buying opportunities, and VastNed Office/Industrial sees buying opportunities, but has no money. At the moment the funds are in a downward spiral and offices need to be sold to keep solvency at a responsible level, Van Gerrevink stated.Since rights issues are not obvious, cross-pollination offers the right solution. The downside is that some investors now see nothing at all in offices and therefore prefer to invest purely in retail. They are averse to a merger. Timing is therefore important in such a move. A drink in Cannes might work wonders.
Cannes-cannes
Another nice thing - and this is not a rumor, but a fact - is that Annexum is going to turn the MECC trade fair building in Maastricht into a real estate CV. It bought the property from Rodamco Europe for 75 million euros. More behind-the-scenes news about this CV in the next IEX Magazine.However it turns out, for the next few days, the real estate scene will dance the Cannes Cannes for a while first. Bellies held in, suits rolled up and Van Bommeltjes in the air. After all, what can be done at Cannes cannot be done at home with the Baroness. Tadadap, tadadap, tadadaptaptap....
