AFIRE is pleased to invite article proposals for Summit Journal Issue #20, to be published in February 2026.
Following the strong reception of recent issues, we are seeking timely, thought-provoking, and original contributions that advance discourse on global real estate investment, with particular attention to evolving global trends, challenges, and opportunities at the intersection of real estate, finance, policy, and innovation.
For Summit #20, we encourage proposals that navigate those complexities through fresh analysis, data-driven insight, and forward-looking perspectives. Submit your proposal here.

- Alternative real estate sectors: industrial, data centers, logistics, life sciences, vertical farming, etc.
- Capital structure innovation: debt, mezzanine, ESG-linked financing, securitization
