The effects have been far from uniform, however, resulting in widely divergent performance across real estate subsectors globally. Tourism and international or regional travel have been an important economic driver in Asia, and Covid-19 has taken a heavy toll. In light of lodgings’... https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3132004/asia-pacific-commercial-real-estate-remains-good-diversification-bet-heres?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3132004/asia-pacific-commercial-real-estate-remains-good-diversification-bet-heres?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 04 May 2021 04:00:14 +0000 Lights are dimming across many Asia-Pacific economies heading into the fourth quarter of 2019, as headwinds continue to broaden and deepen.

Except for the broader retail sector, occupier demand has continued to strengthen thanks to supportive... https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3025438/loosened-monetary-policy-will-lead-opportunities-asia-pacific-real-estate?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/business/article/3025438/loosened-monetary-policy-will-lead-opportunities-asia-pacific-real-estate?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 03 Sep 2019 04:00:15 +0000 Tokyo, the world’s largest metropolitan city, is one of the most interesting commercial real estate markets, despite being arguably one of the most difficult to transact. The positive drivers underlining core investment interests remain: real estate fundamentals, as well as robust capital market sentiment and financial conditions. The city will continue to benefit from the boost to domestic demand in the run up to the 2020 Olympics and associated infrastructure investment and in turn,... https://www.scmp.com/property/international/article/3013808/outlook-tokyos-property-market-positive-it-continues-benefit?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/property/international/article/3013808/outlook-tokyos-property-market-positive-it-continues-benefit?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 11 Jun 2019 04:00:10 +0000
