				As it has in each of the past two years, the U.S. economy has started off strongly in 2013. Real GDP grew at a 2.5% annual rate in the first quarter. Payroll employment increased by an average of 221,000 jobs per month from November 2012 to February 2013. However, signs of a slowdown began to emerge in March.

While the payroll job growth for January was 157,000, roughly in line with the experience of the past three years, the historical data for 2012 was revised significantly upward.

				<description>	<![CDATA[
				Home prices have been increasing since early 2012. As a result, negative equity positions have been decreasing as well as foreclosure activity. Both new and resale home inventories have decreased substantially, and some select markets are under-supplied relative to emerging demand. New home building activity has also been increasing and homebuilder confidence is now at levels not recorded since 2006. Interest rates remain at historic lows, and affordability levels are at new highs. Consumer sentiment has also been improving. Most housing studies suggest the housing market established a true bottom in late 2011 or early 2012. The positive movement in sales activity is likely indicative of record-low mortgage interest rates, low home prices, pent-up household formation, increases in job creation, and higher residential
rental rates.]]>

				<description>	<![CDATA[
				Sustainability is redefining the balance in real estate investment decision-making. Whether the objective is creating value, reducing cost, or protecting assets against early obsolescence, the combined drivers of regulation and growing stakeholder interest in most markets means that sustainability is increasingly seen as an important commercial consideration in property decisions.

The continuing challenging economic conditions appear to have helped sharpen the focus around sustainability, despite misgivings amongst sceptics.

				The combination of challenging market conditions as well as increased regulatory requirements and restrictions has raised
concerns about the banking sector’s longer-term profitability and growth prospects in Asia Pacific. The Asia Pacific regional economy continued to experience a slowdown in the midst of a volatile global environment. Global trade, while improving, remains historically weak and as a consequence, economic growth amongst many of the region’s export driven economies is decelerating. While signs of slowdown have also emerged in growth markets, overall economic activity has remained relatively robust.]]>

				An evolution has been occurring within corporate real estate (CRE) that is now gaining undeniable momentum. CRE is being asked to play a prominent role in helping companies fulfill their corporate objectives and many CRE departments are transforming from the role of support function into business partner and business enabler. Consequently, today’s real estate executives struggle with balancing the appropriate amount of tactical and strategic expertise to have within their departments. 

This report examines the new responsibilities being placed on today’s global real estate executives and suggests a five-step program to consider when undertaking the task of supporting the company with thoughtful and strategic solutions.
