24 October 2011

Another quarter of turbulence in the global financial economy combined with a credit tightening cycle in China has had a negative effect on deal volumes around the region. Both investor and occupier markets have paused as news from Europe is digested and policy measures finally find some traction in terms of moderating overheated markets in China, Hong Kong and Singapore. Japan appears to be a tentative exception, with domestic activity picking up a

Unforgiving cap rate compression, a tighter monetary policy and a lack of available stock is pushing many investors further up the risk curve in China. Volumes in Japan remain subdued while investors size up redevelopment opportunities in older stock which has become difficult to insure and tenant. We note growing interest in Malaysia and Indonesia while Singapore offices are still at a discount to peak prices. Vietnam’s economic woes may prov

Investment sentiment is cooling as both external and internal uncertainties weigh in. While some purchasers have become cautious and are delaying investment decisions, vendors with holding power are in no mood to back down o

Uncertainties seemed to crowd in towards the end of the quarter as Japan was rocked by its largest earthquake on record while in China rising interest rates and lower growth expectations added to the general gloom. While pipeline transactions could suffer, it is still too early to assess the longer term impact on Japan’s real estate market, but we believe that domestic investors, who have taken a lead in the nascent recovery, should remain active.

Despite a generally more positive outlook for the region, overseas funds are being increasingly thwarted by policy measures aimed at cooling overheated markets, aggressive local players and severely compressed cap rates. A sense of palpable frustration has set in in China where approvals to bring money onshore are slow to come, putting overseas capital at an immediate disadvantage to local investors. Japan, meanwhile, holds promise but forbearance to distress continues to limit

Policy risk in China, Hong Kong and Singapore remains signifi cant as governments get to grips with overheated markets. Generally, though, Asia Pacific investment activity levels during the third quarter were higher than during the second, but are still far from peak levels. Availability of institutional grade assets is limited as owners are well aware of the problems of reallocating capital to more productive uses. Cap rate compression is a feature of most sectors. Attent

01 July 2010

Transactions volumes have generally receded in Asia’s real estate markets in the second quarter. Cooling measures in China have had implications for Hong Kong, Singapore and beyond while elsewhere fresh uncertainties surrounding the strength of global recovery have dogged markets. Cash rich local developers and investors have been reluctant to sell prime assets while lenders have remained forgiving. Bright spots include Japan, Taiwan and Australia, where both local and ov

Fortunes have been mixed across Asia-Pacific’s real estate markets during the first quarter. While China, Hong Kong and Singapore fret about bubbles, few deals were done in Korea or Vietnam. Markets such as Tokyo and Australia still hold a great deal of promise but activity levels have yet to really gather momentum. In Taiwan, domestic investment has driven volumes, partly spurred by optimism over rapprochement with the Mainland. As growth returns to the region the danger
