The hot issue at the moment is Britain's 'Brexit', a move to exit the European Union. It might look bad to some, but not for the investment sector. As recently as last year, London remained at the top in a list of cities considered prime investment regions for commercial real estate. The Real Deal reported that this is despite the issues still looming.sa

In fact, it appears that 'Brexit' is an unlikely boon for the city. London attracted $21 billion (£16.2 billion) in investments, most of them invested in commercial office buildings. This is far better than the investments done in early 2018, topping other cities--Manhattan's $18.5 billion (£14.3 billion); Paris' $15.6 billion (£12.1 billion); and Hong Kong's $10.8 billion (£8.4 billion) in investments.

Meanwhile, China remained on top of the list of investors, as well. Central London's office spaces were grabbed by the Chinese to the tune of $4.5 billion (3.48 billion), although this was lower by 51 percent from 2017; during that year, the Chinese investors put money into commercial London office spaces worth 9.2 billion (7.12 billion).

Proof that all is not lost because of the impending 'Brexit' also lies in the study done by Savills Investment Management. According to Forbes, five of twenty European cities are found within Britain, belonging to a list of 'dynamic cities'. Surprisingly, the country also has the highest number out of those reviewed for this list.

This index ranked London as the first destination, with Cambridge coming in second. Rounding out the list for Britain are Oxford at 8th place; Edinburgh at 12th place; and Bristol at 16th place. Other cities that made it to the list at the top 40 mark is Manchester at 29th; Newcastle upon Tyne at 31st; Belfast at 33; and Cardiff and Birmingham at 34th and 39th, respectively.

The index ranks European cities based on six categories it uses for ranking: innovation, inspiration, inclusion, interconnection, investment, and infrastructure. Through a combination of these factors, these cities should be able to get the best and brightest of the population or investors. So far, these cities have managed to do so.

So far, London appears to be doing fine despite its 'Brexit'. London's 'resilience and reputation' have made waves, making it look like leaving the Union was the right idea for the country.
