The preface to their "Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2009" report:

"A joint undertaking of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and PricewaterhouseCoopers, Emerging Trends in Real Estate is a trends and forecast publication in its 30th edition; this year, it is expanding to cover real estate markets in Latin America. It is the most highly regarded and widely read forecast report in the real estate industry. The report provides an outlook on U.S., Canadian, and Latin American real estate investment and development trends, real estate finance and capital markets, property sectors, metropolitan areas, and other real estate issues. Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2009 presents a consensus outlook for the future and reflects the views of more than 700 individuals who completed surveys and/or were interviewed as a part of the research process for this report. Interviewees and survey participants represent a wide range of industry experts-investors, developers, property companies, lenders, brokers, and consultants. ULI and PricewaterhouseCoopers researchers personally interviewed over 270 individuals, and survey responses were received from over 440 individuals whose company affiliations are broken down as follows:

Private Property Company or Developer - 43.3%
Real Estate Service Firm - 18.6%
Institutional/Equity Investor or Investment Manager - 17.2%
Other Entity - 7.8%
Bank, Lender, or Securitized Lender - 4.8%
Publicly Listed Property Company or REIT - 4.6%
Homebuilder or Residential Land Developer - 3.7%

A list of the interview participants in this year's study appears at the end of this report. To all who helped, the Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers extend sincere thanks for sharing valuable time and expertise. Without the involvement of these many individuals, this report would not have been possible."
