For the coming year, 30% and 28% of investors from Asia and US respectively have expressed an interest in investing in EMEA. Transactions show that Asian investors have been mainly focused on the UK so far. However, there are signs of this changing, with some Asian capital gradually moving onto the mainland, targeting primarily Germany.
For all respondents, the UK (35%), Germany (21%) and France (12%) were the most popular investment destinations in EMEA, followed by Spain (9%) and the Netherlands (9%). London dominates EMEA and global investors’ preferences in terms of cities, with other European cities rarely featuring in the latter’s list. In their home region, in addition to London, EMEA investors will be looking mainly at Germany’s ‘Big Six’, led by Berlin (22%), as well as Paris (16%), Madrid (10%) and New York (18%).
COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL SHOPPING CENTERS AND HOTELS INCREASINGLY EN VOGUE
CBD offices remain the preferred investment class among EMEA investors (54%), followed by residential (43%) and shopping centers (37%), which moved up two places compared with last year. This increase in interest could be partly explained by the advantages in terms of lot size, enabling larger institutional funds, with minimum spend requirements, to get the desired level of exposure, and the return of debt to finance acquisitions. By contrast, high street retail (27%) slipped two places. This could reflect the weaker rental growth story outside prime high streets and perceptions that online retailing could penalise more high street pitches than shopping centers.
