Greg Hyland, CBRE Head of Capital Markets APAC: “Despite healthy levels of fundraising, most investors are adopting a cautious approach as they look for signs of yield expansion and the interest rate tightening cycle to stabilise. We are expecting investment activity to accelerate in the second half of the year.”
Dr Henry Chin, CBRE Global Head of Investor Thought Leadership & Head of Research APAC: “Industrial and logistics continues to be the most preferred asset class for Asia Pacific investors, followed by office and residential. While there is a drop in interest in office largely due to concerns about the current level of yields, the survey finds that core investors still opt for offices as their top choice. Investors are showing much stronger interest in the residential sector, especially multifamily/built to rent. We expect yields to expand further across all asset classes in 2023.”
