Your Window to Real Estate Investment in Atlanta and the Southeast

After you read this first issue of Atlanta ROI*, the secret will be out about real estate investment opportunities in Atlanta and the Southeast. Our region boasts growing economies that have successfully evolved from manufacturing to include corporate and regional headquarters and high-tech development firms. Additionally, the infrastructure of the legal, accounting and service firms needed to support the region’s growth has expanded.

This impressive growth has allowed Atlanta and the Southeast to build a strong history of generating profitable returns to real estate investors. Atlanta ROI* is your window to follow growth trends, and the American Israel Chamber of Commerce is your doorway to opportunities within the local and regional real estate market.

Many Israeli investors are aware of the opportunities in New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Chicago; they invested nearly $4 billion in these cities between 2002 and 2006. More than two-thirds of that investment was in New York and Miami alone. While there have been some spectacular investments made in these cities, Atlanta, the crown jewel of the South, offers its own vast opportunity.

Here are some key points about Atlanta and the Southeast, which we will discuss in greater detail in this and future issues of Atlanta ROI*:

• Population growth in the Southeast has been 55 percent higher than the U.S. average, while unemployment has remained consistently low at 4 percent

• Charleston and Savannah are among the 10 largest ports in the United States with extensive highway and rail connections to Atlanta and the Southeast

• Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the nation’s busiest, offers direct flights to and from Tel Aviv on Delta Airlines with connections to the Southeast and anywhere else in the United States

• Metro Atlanta has quadrupled in the past 40 years to become the nation’s eighth-largest metropolitan area, with nearly 5 million residents

• A large and thriving network of real estate professionals and attorneys supports developers and brokers operating across the country and overseas

• With a Jewish population of 120,000, Atlanta has the 11th-largest Jewish population in the United States

• Strong Jewish communities in the Southeast are found in Charlotte, N.C.; Charleston, S.C.; Nashville and Memphis, Tenn.; Birmingham, Ala.; and other mid-market cities

The three key factors in real estate have always been location, location, location. Atlanta and the Southeast are excellent locations and well worth investors’ consideration.
