The National reports: The Middle East has surpassed the rest of the world and become the largest investor in North American property this year. Contributing to this are deals such as the Abu Dhabi Investment Council’s 90 per cent purchase of Manhattan’s Chrysler Building for US$800 million (Dh2.9 billion) and Istithmar’s $750m purchase of the Fontainebleau Hilton on Miami Beach.“The credit crunch has been very democratic in affecting most buyers worldwide,” said Dan Fasulo. “The lack of available debt has given cash-rich buyers an advantage in winning deals."
