EY helps real estate, hospitality and construction companies achieve a balance between success today and what growth requires tomorrow.
The globalization of capital, increased competition for assets, emerging technologies and changing customer demographics require the real estate, hospitality and construction (RHC) sector to rethink traditional paths to successful investment.
