ORANGE COUNTY, CA—A key reason for Chinese investors’ attraction to Orange County real estate is that the region has become a more seasoned marketplace during this economic boom that continues to build momentum as a primary market on the West Coast, Cushman & Wakefield’s executive director Jeffrey Cole and director Ed Hernandez tell GlobeSt.com.
