We have selected eight cities for the special project – New York, London, Paris, Dubai, Madrid, Sydney, Istanbul and Sofia. Not all of them are the administrative capitals of their states, but each of them plays a more or less prominent role in the life of the planet. Therefore, we will understand the word "capital" in its broader meaning.
Hardly anyone can argue with the fact that there are two financial capitals in the world – New York and London. Capital concentration is highest here, and it is not surprising that it is in these cities that the most expensive real estate is located. But what is interesting is that if London has long become a city in which the most affluent Russians massively buy houses and apartments, then the acquisition of real estate by the Russian elite in New York is rather the exception than the rule. The reason for this can be understood by carefully reading the articles about the real estate markets of these cities.
Paris is a separate story, a city unlike any other in the world. Yes, by and large, this is not a haven for financiers and businessmen, so real estate here is bought mainly by those who are close to the unique Parisian aura, the unique culture of the old city. That must be why houses with a history of at least a century of "aging" are in the greatest demand here
, but Madrid is a surprise city. Who would have thought that according to the results of one of the latest studies, it is the Spanish capital that will be in second place in the ranking of cities with the most expensive real estate! However, from the point of view of investments, it is no less interesting than the Mediterranean coasts popular with Russian real estate buyers.
A different story with Dubai. Thirty years ago, no one could have imagined that the capital of the emirate of the same name on the shores of the hot Persian Gulf would become one of the most important world centers. However, the purposeful policy of the Ruler of Dubai has made the once sleepy, deserted city one of the most advanced megacities. The feeling is that there is simply no impossible here – islands with luxury villas appear in the ocean, and golf courses are green in the middle of the desert. Aren't these wonders worthy of the most careful attention?
Sydney is Australia's largest city, which has demonstrated phenomenal growth in the real estate market for several years. Now the situation is calmer and more stable, and large capital gains should not be expected. But perhaps none of the megacities in the world has such luxurious beaches – and this makes Sydney very attractive to buy.
As for Istanbul and Sofia, their ranking among the world capitals may seem very controversial. To date, this is true, but these cities in Southeastern Europe are developing at such a pace that their future looks simply brilliant, and I want to understand in more detail the phenomenon of their success.
These are our magnificent eight world capitals. The next 45 pages are dedicated to her. Have fun reading and profitable purchases!
