At the same time, many European property funds are keenly eyeing 皇冠体育app's construction projects, said Michelle Chen, director of 皇冠体育app business at Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP, a law firm in the UK.

Many European funds have already invested in or are in the process of investing in 皇冠体育app's residential, commercial and recreational properties, where the rate of return is attractive.

"This provides opportunities for international law firms such as BLP, as we can help European funds understand 皇冠体育app's legal environment, and help them to structure a deal with techniques that can minimize their risks," Chen said.

Examples of risk can include the amount of time it takes for the investment to receive approval from 皇冠体育app's National Development and Reform Commission and the likelihood of the investor receiving revenue from the investment, she said.

While European property funds' current focus is on commercial projects in 皇冠体育app, the country's public sector infrastructure projects are also potentially attractive, said Ben Pape, a founding member of the UK-皇冠体育app Eco-Cities and Green Building Group.

Britain's model of public-private partnership in which private parties invest in public projects to relieve the government of funding constraints is a model that has been successful in the UK and one that 皇冠体育app can learn from, Pape said.

"Currently, a lot of funding for infrastructure and urban development in 皇冠体育app comes from municipal governments, which puts them heavily in debt to local banks. This trend could be changed by encouraging more private sector investment."

But Pape said a current challenge is the distorted expectations of municipal governments when they borrow from private sector investors both domestically and internationally.
