Japan, Australia Lead Asia Pacific Property Investment Momentum in Q2
2015-07-27CBRE Asia Pacific Research Senior Director Ada Choi commented, "This quarter, the Asia Pacific investment environment suffered from a persistent lack of investible stock and firm pricing by landlords amidst the ongoing low interest rate environment. While these factors have largely moderated capital flow across the region, overall transaction volumes showed an improvement from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, significant cross-border activity was also observed from institutional investors. In the drive for global diversification, three major transactions were closed in three different markets--Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia--across a variety of asset classes such as office, hospitality and developments, reinforcing the optimistic sentiment of large institutional players in the region's long-term investment potential.
Interest rate cuts in five major Asia Pacific markets and the weaker currencies in the region are expected to attract more foreign and US dollar-denominated capital seeking attractive opportunities, while moderating currency fluctuations in the coming years will further boost international investor confidence. Furthermore, we witnessed robust fund raising activity by experienced fund managers, with successful closures by managers reflecting healthy investor appetite. Successful fundraising, together with continued capital disposals from fund expiries, will translate to a steady stream of capital deployment over the course of 2015 and well into 2016."
