MIPIM 2016: The biggest cross-border transaction of the real estate calendar began this week as 125 property professionals set off on the annual cycle from London to MIPIM in Cannes.
The cyclists left from Central St Giles on 10 March and are cycling almost 1,500km first through the Kent countryside before taking on the crosswinds and cold of Northern France, then the sunshine (hopefully) of Provence, before skirting the Mediterranean to arrive in Cannes on 15 March for the start of property’s real endurance event, MIPIM.
The ride, now in its 11th year, is sponsored by Legal & General Investment Management Real Assets.
This year the event has set a target of raising more than £325,000 for principal charity Coram – the event’s biggest fundraising target yet.Other key sponsors of the ride include AHR, Aviva Investors, Broadgate Estates, JLL, Elliott Wood, Savills, Knight Frank and Berkeley Group.
