Record funds enter commercial real estate

INVESTORS injected a record US$443 billion in commercial real estate as they sought opportunities in markets around the world, a latest report released by international property consultancy Cushman & Wakefield showed.

Investment activity approached record levels in many markets as investors have actively put their capital to work in an increasingly buoyant market, according to the 12th edition of the Great Wall of Money.

But growth in capital raised slowed notably from 21 percent in 2014 to 3 percent last year, the report said.

“As global equity markets face increased uncertainty, factors such as quantitative easing and lower-for-longer interest rates will sustain the relative attractiveness of commercial real estate, helping to bolster the continued flow of capital into real estate and related funds,” said Carlo Barel di Sant’Albano, chief executive of Cushman & Wakefield’s global capital markets & investor services.

The available capital at record levels will benefit the large and liquid markets of the US, China, UK, Japan and Germany and the strong cross-border flows will continue as investors diversify across markets, he said.
