OPPORTUNITY PREVAILS


Most Asian investors (66%) concur that good investments exist in the market but are increasingly difficult to find. A Singapore-based private investor explained that there are no desperate sellers in the market place and there is simply a mismatch between buyers and sellers in terms of price expectations. However, a property company based in the UK expressed that it might be difficult to source good deals in cyclical markets such as Hong Kong and Singapore, but there are still a lot of interesting opportunities available in the region, such as mainland China.


Overall, the issues of liquidity and governance risk had led to a significant contraction of investment volume in some markets during 2014. However, it is the consensus that the overall volume of investment sales in Asia will see a much stronger growth in 2015 if more investment opportunities are offered at more realistic prices, and if some of the restrictive measures ease off. The volume performance of individual centers could surpass expectations on the upside, particularly when they make a comeback from a low base.
