In a Global Capital Markets Research Report, JLL noted that cross-border (i.e. international) investment into US cities in 1H15 had soared relative to the previous corresponding period. Inwards cross-border investment to New York City, for instance, more than doubled to USD12bn or so. Inwards cross-border investment to Chicago tripled to just over USD4bn. Very strong increases were also observed in Washington DC (to about USD3bn), Honolulu and Boston (to about USD2bn each).
