We anticipate regional investor sentiment to improve with this and anticipated future interest rate cuts. However, due to the lag between interest rate changes and real estate yields, we expect further cap rate softening through 2024, especially in mainland China, Japan, Singapore, and Australia, before stabilising in early 2025. https://lnkd.in/g3258T63

Many clients have been discussing the benefits of property in Pattaya over projects in Bangkok. They are two very different markets. Director of research and communications at Colliers Thailand Company, Phattarachai Thaweewong, highlighted a heavy flow of investment funds primarily into the three tourist cities of Phuket, Pattaya, and Hua Hin. “Newly launched condominium projects in tourist cities like Phuket and Pattaya are in higher demand compared to Bangkok because many projects close their sales faster. This is a result of the recovery in the tourism market,” Phattarachai said. Tourism is one precursor to this, there is also a long list of infrastructure projects slated in all of these resort focused tourism centers. Smart money on the retail side is being allocated now... #roycerealestate #thailandproperty #thailandrealestate #thailandrealtor #realestateagencythailand #condothailand #movetothailand #pattaya #investinthailand

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has certified CRDB Bank's head office as an EDGE green building. The EDGE [Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies] certification is offered to properties that reduce the environmental impact of buildings in terms of direct energy consumption, water consumption and the energy footprint of construction materials. This means that CRDB Bank's headquarters has passed the IFC's EDGE certification metrics in line with its [IFC's] definition of what constitutes a green building as outlined in parameters of building green, increased regulatory pull, and promoted direct investment, CRDB Said in a statement yesterday. "The certificate recognizes the bank's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and a special focus on transitioning to invest in low-carbon emission activities", the statement reads in part In consideration of how construction contributes to polluting the duced EDGE, a green building certification system focused on making new residential and commercial buildings more resource-efficient by bringing together those who design, develop, finance, and incentivize green buildings. Speaking during the event, the CRDB Bank Plc. CEO, Mr. Abdulmajid Nsekela, said it was in line with their environmental conservation efforts that the Environment Fund of the United Nations (GCF) was convinced to accredit the bank for facilitating the financing of green projects in Eastern and Central Africa in November 2019. With the green building, he said, CRDB Bank's energy consumption has decreased by 21 percent, while water usage has gone down by 27 percent. Looking ahead, he said they are committed to advancing to level 2 certification by 2026, aiming for an average consumption efficiency of 40 percent

Enter mixed-use developments—projects that seamlessly integrate residential, office, hotel, and retail spaces within a single complex. Imagine living, working, and playing all in one vibrant hub! 📈 Growing Popularity: With Singapore’s strategic push towards decentralization, mixed-use developments are sprouting up everywhere.

The South Beach project is a prime example, boasting Grade A office space, residential units, a hotel, and retail spaces all in one location. 💡 Beyond Convenience: While these developments offer unparalleled convenience, their true value lies in a mix of factors. Prospective buyers should consider location, the specific blend of asset classes, potential for value appreciation, and personal needs. It’s not just about scale, but about finding the right balance that suits your lifestyle and investment goals. 🌟 An Investment Worth Considering: Mixed-use developments represent the future of urban living, offering a blend of convenience, luxury, and potential financial rewards.

Hong Kong's mid-market property segment is "buzzing" with deal-making activity according to CBRE Asia Pacific, they note that this segment is benefiting from the region's economic resilience and attractive investment opportunities. Like the post shared by Girish Jhunjhnuwala last week whereby SMEs have the ability to contribute to the retail and tourism recovery, it’s crucial to keep an eye on emerging trends in dynamic markets such as #HongKong. CBREs venture with 'Value Properties’ into the mid-market segment offers significant potential for growth and stability, making it a strategic direction for the firm’s advisory & transaction teams and opportunities for investor portfolio diversification. Understanding local market dynamics and investor sentiment can help us navigate and capitalise on these opportunities. #AssetManagement #PropertyInvestment #MarketTrends

TheEconomist Newspaper Limited recently outlined 10 business trends and provided forecasts for 15 industries in 2025. The article points out $2.1trn of real estate loans are maturing in the coming year and 75% of those loans are based in America. The article also notes older buildings will need to be retrofitted or risk becoming stranded assets and many in the sector know the looming market conditions are threatening to prolong the largest disruption in the history of the real estate industry. However, where there is disruption there is opportunity and while the only certainty in Canada's office leasing sector in 2025 is continued uncertainty, the market will move forward... but likely in a different direction. Office occupiers are now increasingly looking at how to reduce operating costs and one of the best ways is to focus on how to generate more value from fewer square feet. Because employees now want to work differently companies have to think differently and, after a 30-year run of commercial landlords being able to all but dictate lease terms, the market pendulum appears to be placing many office occupiers in a position to follow suit. https://lnkd.in/gQN3dbXW |

Japan's accommodative lending environment across sectors continues to be beneficial for investors, the result indicating stability and continued liquidity in the market. The 2024-25 outlook is also a promising indicator with more than half of senior lenders looking to lend more in the coming financial year than last. The current environment means easier access to capital, enabling strategic investments, expansions and renovations, making it more viable to enhance portfolios, albeit there is an ongoing flurry of activity in the region meaning a more competitive and constrained investment landscape moving forward. It also underscores the importance of understanding regional financial policies to maximise investment potential and manage risks effectively. #AssetManagement #RealEstateInvestment #MarketTrends #Japan #CBRE CBRE Asia Pacific

Social Value - Bringing Worth to Commercial Real Estate in Greater China When considering commercial real estate around the world and in Greater China, and the social side of things, social value is simply when value is produced when commercial buildings and places improve the quality of life of people. There are a number of reasons why social value in a commercial real estate context is increasingly being taken seriously. Some example reasons include:   A. The contribution and size of the real estate sector; B. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; C. Millennial and Gen Z priorities, and; D. Socially inspired investors.   When reflecting on social value best practice for real estate, the stakeholder and his/her social value requirements need to be examined. Recognising these needs can allow for the identification of pertinent interventions and concentrate commercial real estate-related activities and actions in areas that generate the greatest social value.   In the future, impact-focused commercial real estate buildings with a vigorous social value drive and performance will increasingly outperform their peers on so many levels in the long run. This performance will undoubtedly attract a growing number of investors to these commercial properties looking for healthy financial worth and society-related returns.
