<title>Commercial Real Estate Brokerage and Management</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3211.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The US commercial real estate brokerage and management industry includes about 25,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $30 billion. Major companies include CB Richard Ellis, Jones Lang LaSalle, and Cushman & Wakefield. The industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies account for one-third of industry revenue.  The industry includes sales and leasing brokers and agents for nonresidential property, as well as property managers. Many companies combine these functions.

<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R460-219.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[Green building is no longer just a fad; in fact, energy-efficient remodeling and renovating is one of the few aspects of the U.S. construction business that still holds a positive outlook in the midst of the economic turmoil in 2009.   

The U.S. residential construction market was $363 billion in 2008, down 41% from its high of $620 billion in 2006.  The home renovations market was $188 billion in 2008, down 18% percent from 2007.  But SBI estimates that the home energy efficiency renovations market in the U.S. was $21 billion in 2008; down only 13% percent from 2007&rsquo;s $24 billion.   

Remodeling to improve a home&rsquo;s energy efficiency instead of buying a new home has become a preferred option in today&rsquo;s market.  In fact, the National Association of Home Builders found that 32% of home builders also provided remodeling services in 2008. ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[Following decades of underinvestment, the federal stimulus plan and the pressing need for newinfrastructure facilities in transport, energy and utilities have revived the dormant infrastructure sector inthe United States, and the country is fast emerging as the new frontier market for public-privatepartnerships (PPPs), high-speed rail and renewable energy projects, to name but a few.

<description> <![CDATA[The US shipbuilding and repair industry includes about 500 companies with combined revenue of about $15 billion.

Other top companies are Todd Shipyards, Conrad Industries, Trinity Marine Products, and Jeffboat.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand for military shipbuilding is largely determined by the US military budget, and to a much lesser extent, the military spending of foreign governments allied with the US.

Small companies usually specialize in building and repair of small commercial vessels. Large companies tend to offer a wide range of building and repair services for both commercial and military vessels, ]]></description>

<title>Saudi Arabia Real Estate Report Q4 2009</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R302-8528.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[As we move towards 2010 and the expected recovery of the global economy, Saudi Arabia still looks inreasonable shape. The stock market is back up, oil prices are above US$70/bbl, the budget looks like itwill stay in surplus after all. We stand by our out-of-consensus view that the kingdom can avoidrecession. The economic indicators are mixed. The upward revision of our oil price forecast has sent ourbudget projections comfortably back into surplus, and the current account was always going to stay in theblack. This frees up more cash for the government to spend, which is good news because, as of June2009, banks were still not lending - clearly risk aversion still persists. As far as private-sector growth isconcerned, much will depend on getting the banks lending again, but we think government spending andinvestment will keep growth positive in 2009 and 2010.  We also stand by our view that Saudi Arabia will ]]></description>
