Q1 property deals soar
Print Edition
China’s en-bloc real estate investment market was off to a great start in 2019 with an extremely robust appetite for office buildings, global property consultancy CBRE said in a report yesterday.
Nationwide, more than 53 billion yuan (US$7.67 billion) of major property deals were concluded between January and March, the highest Q1 figure since 2005.
The transaction value of offices accounted for 47 percent of the total, an increase of 21 percentage points from the same period a year earlier. That translated to over 25 billion yuan, also the best Q1 performance since 2005.
“This was a clear demonstration of the long-term optimism held by investors toward China’s resilient economic growth,” said Sam Xie, head of research at CBRE China. “At the same time, it reflected investors’ more balanced appetite for risks.”
According to the latest investment sentiment survey conducted by CBRE, the Chinese mainland has replaced Australia and Japan for the first time in 2019 as the No. 1 destination for cross border commercial real estate investment in the Asia-Pacific, with Shanghai ranking top on investors’ radar.
As for offices, CBRE suggests that attention should be paid mainly to those in core locations in first-tier cities particularly Guangzhou, some selected second-tier cities such as Nanjing and Hangzhou, as well as buildings in emerging areas and business parks in gateway cities primarily due to the ongoing trend of decentralization among corporate tenants for cost reduction purposes.
