The future of alternative investments in real estate will largely focus on sustainable energy and infrastructure. As the world’s oil reserves are depleted, more and more sources of sustainable, renewable energy will be needed. Large plots of land for wind farms and solar panels will be necessary. Also, the infrastructure in the United States is rapidly approaching the end of its useful life. There is a huge need for renovations and improvements, and the private sector will play are large role in providing either the capital or the expertise to complete these projects. Formal Public Private Partnerships between governing bodies and private companies are already taking place to meet this need. Public infrastructure REITs are also forming to allow greater access to the market.
With so many alternative investment vehicles, the category is too broad to define "Top Markets".
