The Expo Real commercial property trade fair in Munich will cover six halls and 64,000 m[sup]2[/sup] of space this year, one hall less than in 2008, according to Eugen Egetenmeir, board member of fair organiser Messe München. This is equivalent to the surface area registered in the growth year of 2007, Egetenmeir said in a statement. ‘This is a more than satisfactory outcome, when you consider that real estate has been one of the sectors most seriously affected by the financial crisis.’
