China leads investment property value

INVESTMENT-GRADE commercial real estate rose 4 percent around the globe to a record US$13.6 trillion in 2014, mainly powered by growth in the China-led Asia-Pacific region, international real estate services provider DTZ said yesterday.

Measured in US dollars, the real estate portfolio in Asia-Pacific jumped 10 percent to US$5.1 trillion last year. The 21 percent growth in China was significant that when excluded, the Asia-Pacific rose by just 1 percent annually, according to DTZ’s latest Money into Property report yesterday.

In North America, the value of invested property gained 5 percent to US$4.2 trillion, closing its gap with Europe whose stock was stagnant at US$4.4 trillion. In euro terms, however, European property investment gained 2 percent, the report said.

Global investment values rose 20 percent from 2013 to US$633 billion last year, with growth in all three regions, led by Europe’s 32 percent annual gain.

“With record levels of new capital targeting commercial real estate, global investment activity is set to reach US$771 billion this year, just short of the US$791 billion record in 2007,” said Nigel Almond, head of DTZ capital markets research.

“We see the appetite for investment continuing into 2016 as real estate still looks attractive compared to other assets in the current low interest rate environment,” Almond said.
