We would like to welcome all our readers to Issue 33 of DLA Piper’s Real Estate Gazette.

In this issue, we highlight the various legal issues related to sports and stadium development.

With a range of subjects being examined on the benefits of investing in sporting and events facilities, from the regeneration of Holloway in London as a result of the development of Arsenal Football Club’s iconic Emirates stadium, to Portugal’s vision of sports cities with the intervention of public authorities, and the sports-oriented mixed-use entertainment projects envisaged by the US, this issue has something to appeal to everyone interested in global real estate.

We hope you enjoy reading this latest issue and if you would like to find out more about any of the topics covered, please feel free to contact the authors, who will be happy to help.
