ASIAN INVESTORS: PRIMARY INVESTMENT FOCUS (NEXT 12 MONTHS)


OFFICE CBD 61 DEVELOPMENTS 39


% HOTEL 31 LAND 22 DEBT 14 HIGH STREET RETAIL 11


INDUSTRIAL RESIDENTIAL 42 CHINA SITS ON TOP


By geography, China sits at the top with 41% of Asian investors indicating they plan to invest there over the next 12 months. A property company based in the UK said “it is a no brainer for us to enter the China market now and position for the long-term growth, if the current adjustment is to last only over the short term”. Singapore and Hong Kong are again in the top three with 36% and 33% of Asian respondents respectively preferring these locations due to their solid property market fundamentals.


Similar to last year, CBD offices, particularly new developments, were the most popular investments among Asian investors, with 61% of respondents indicating that they intend to target this sector within the next 12 months. Residential is named by 42% of respondents as the second most sought-after sector due to the sustained demand to upgrade existing stock and the positive demographics in the region.


Development opportunities (39%) are understood to bear higher risks. However the sector has become increasingly popular in traditional markets where investment returns have been severely compressed. A private equity fund based in Hong Kong has chosen to focus more on value-added opportunities such as commercial repositioning and the conversion of industrial premises in order to generate premium returns.
