In this thesis, I undertake a study of rapid condominium growth occurring in the City of Toronto, Canada, and the emergence of an ultra-luxury condominium market during a time of global financial instability. This thesis examines the influence of rapid growth on Toronto as a world city during this time by asking the following research questions: 1. Why has Toronto become a place of safe investment for condominium buyers during a time of global economic uncertainty? 2. Why has the ultra-luxury market emerged in Toronto? What are the driving forces behind it, how does it contribute to Toronto’s standing as a world city, and what does the future hold for this niche market? 3. What is the current state of the condominium market in Toronto and what can we expect to see happen in the near future? To answer these questions, this thesis draws insights from urban, political, economic and social geographic literature, statistical and policy data, as well as twenty-five (25) semi- structured interviews with a variety of key industry stakeholders in the City of Toronto. The results of this study point to a changing demographic landscape in a city where fundamental elements have not only secured Toronto’s reputation as a place of safe investment, but also created an environment of pent up demand leading to the emergence of the ultra-luxury condominium market. The City of Toronto has garnered international attention for its rapid rate of high-rise growth, and continues to craft its reputation as a world city through the addition of four, 5-star hotel condominiums. Additionally, this thesis recognizes the pressing social, environmental and political issues that accompany this recent, rapid growth, and provides general recommendations for addressing these complex topics through the suggestion of future research on the topic. / Thesis (Master, Geography) -- Queen's University, 2013-04-29 12:28:08.426

The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the taxation of ownership and the transfers of real estate property with regards to the ownership of flats. I will also examine the Austrian legal regulation through most of the taxes and I demonstrate differences between Czech and Austrian legal order. Paradoxically, both Czech and Austrian legal orders have historical and territorial connections. The thesis is composed of eight main parts. Chapter I gives an overall comment on the legal situations in both countries. In Chapter II, the essential terms relevant to my thesis are outlined. This chapter is divided into two subchapters. The first subchapter analyses terms concerning real estate property and the second subchapter explores terms regarding taxes. Chapter III pays close attention to the bill of the new Civil Code which is currently being discussed in Parliament in the Czech Republic. Chapters IV to VII focus on particular taxes which refer to ownership and transfers of real estate property. Chapter IV examines real estate tax and is subdivided into three parts. In the first subchapter, I explain Czech legal regulation and in the second subchapter Austrian legal regulation. The third subchapter includes a theoretical summary of both previous subchapters where I evaluate the differences of both legal...

Master of Agribusiness / Department of Agricultural Economics / Kevin Gwinner / Purple Wave, Inc. has five major auction categories: Real Estate; Business Liquidation; Heavy Equipment (Agricultural and Construction); State Surplus; and Personal Property). Although Purple Wave is rapidly expanding in all categories its current focus is on increasing its real estate sales category. Selling real estate via the auction method is the fastest growing sector of the auction industry. The auction process provides a time-defined result, usually 60 to 90 days from contract signing to closing. The process also establishes a true market value established by the public. I have been tasked with evaluating our current real estate marketing methods. I am to determine the best way to allocate marketing funds to attract the most viable, competitive, well funded, and aggressive real estate bidders. The economic rationale of this issue is the ability to market real estate for higher sale prices. The cost of this issue cannot be measured in terms of a direct expense. The issue is how the company could best spend the marketing funds they receive to ensure the auction will reach the maximum price for the property. Purple Wave is paid on a percent of the sale price. The customer and company have everything to gain from a higher sale price since both will receive a larger profit. Purple Wave would like this issue to be solved with the development of a marketing menu. The real estate teams can use this new menu to show a potential customer how their marketing funds will be used to gain them the maximum amount of advertising exposure. The format can also show sellers how we plan to invest the marketing funds in specific promotional areas.

The diploma thesis "Real estates as an investment instrument" is focused on direct investments into real estates. There is a brief description how to invest into the real estate in general point of view, in the first chapter. Basic terms related to real estates are defined and described here as well as influencing factors. The next section consists of different types of analyses dealing with measuring investments with the help of "the magic triangle" yield, liability and liquidity. In order to provide a full range of understanding, an analytical example is also introduced. The last part of the thesis involves a comparison of investment into real estates and other investment instruments. Finally, property analysis with portfolio diversification and an anti-inflationary investment is run. The main objective of this thesis is to introduce a compact view at one of investment possibilities -- investment into real estates.

1 Pavel Škvára Ownership of real estate in the Czech legal order Abstract The reasons, why I decided to choose as a topic of my dissertation, issues of ownership in the Czech legal code, it was just a few. In the first place, therefore, that the legal concept of property rights is seen in any democratic legislation, as the basic instrument governing private relations in society. And as such a fundamental tool must be properly treated in the legislative plane. The concept of the ownership, may seem at first glance a very clear and smooth, but the opposite is true. Really fine and perfectly understand this concept and to understand its theoretical structure, is not simple at all. In particular, on the grounds that many legal theorists interpret the content of the concept of ownership a little differently, and there was no agreement on the definition of unique match and the determination of the theoretical sources of this concept. Of course, in the case of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes is the institutes of the ownership in national legal systems often formally retained, but its content and form are often significantly modified. The aim of the thesis was also to focus on the issues of real estate. Real estate can be understood as a special group of things that have specific characteristics, are often...
