Top 10 real estate companies in the world
Introduction – Top 10 Real Estate Companies in the World
The real estate industry is a big business that generates hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue annually. And there are plenty of opportunities for investors to make a profit from the $4.5 trillion industry. The real estate industry includes many aspects of a property. It includes all the development, valuation, marketing, sale, leasing, and management of commercial, industrial, residential, and even agricultural properties.
Today, the real estate industry is one of the most highly profitable sectors of the U.S. economy. And it continues to provide opportunities for interested and motivated investors.
Global real estate firms rebounded in 2021, as the panic of the pandemic’s early days appears to have cooled. A check on The Global 2000, Forbes’ annual ranking of the world’s largest and most impactful public companies, show that more than 80% of real estate firms on the list saw their stocks go up compared to 2020’s list.
For the fourth straight year, Brookfield Asset Management took the top spot on the rankings but who else made the list of the top 10 real estate companies in the world?
Criteria for Ranking – Top 10 Real Estate Companies in the World
The Global 2000 is a Forbes initiative. It assembles companies globally based on four equally weighted criteria. The criteria are:
- Total revenue
- Profit
- Total assets
- Market valuation.
In 2021 assembling, 31 companies that primarily makes their money from real estate made the list.
Exceptions –Top 10 Real Estate Companies in the World
Forbes said the report excludes such firms as Blackstone, which holds a global real estate portfolio it last valued at nearly $400 billion, but which also invests in other kinds of assets. Forbes also omitted construction firms in the list. So the primary focus is on companies that operate in the more traditional real estate sphere of investment trust, building, buying, leasing and selling of properties.
