Last month we had the pleasure to have Ignacio Fonseca, IE MBA Alumni and Investment Manager at The Blackstone Group. Ignacio is a real estate professional with 10+ years of experience including Capital Markets with CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate services firm and The Blackstone Group, the premier global real estate private equity firm.

During the presentation we discussed about the Spanish real estate market, Ignacio explained how it has evolved: going through the creation of the bubble, the behavior of the banks, the formation of SAREB and the changes in labor law. He also spoke about Blackstone recent activity on the Spanish market.

After the exposition, students had the opportunity to ask him questions and had a brief networking session.

Thank you everyone for attending the event, it was a great success.

We promise to tell you more on our next events. Stay tuned to hear more from the IE Real Estate Club.
