Israeli investors are among the top ten foreign investors in US real estate, JLL report reveals

A new report from real estate services firm JLL shows that Israeli investors have secured a spot among the top ten foreign sources of capital for US real estate. The findings place Israel alongside major global economies in terms of cross-border property investment into the United States.

According to the report, Israeli capital flowing into US real estate projects reached $1.06 billion. However, this figure is still lower than the amount Israelis are investing in European property. The report notes that Israeli investors funded projects totaling $1.93 billion across Europe, nearly double the US total. This suggests that while the US market remains attractive, European opportunities currently draw a larger share of Israeli real estate capital.

The data highlights a continued appetite among Israeli institutions and private investors for overseas property, particularly in commercial and residential developments. The report does not break down specific US cities or property types attracting Israeli funds, but the overall ranking underscores Israel's growing role in global real estate markets.

Industry observers note that Israeli investors have historically favored stable, long-term assets in major urban centers. The JLL report confirms that trend, even as investment volumes in the US trail those in Europe for now.
