Covering Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, the report provides a broad overview of the key factors -- risk assessment, regulatory changes, economic prospects, return expectations and market trends -- that play a major part in property investment decision-making.
"MIPIM Asia has established itself as the international property market in Asia Pacific and it is an essential part of our role as a business facilitator to provide our clients and the wider industry with quality information about the region," says MIPIM Asia Director Gilles Saint Georges Chaumet. "Cushman & Wakefield's experience and knowledge of the industry and the Asia Pacific region is invaluable."
Highlights of the 2007 Asia Pacific investment Report include:
-- The Australian office, industrial and retail markets are all expected
to perform strongly over the next 12 months.
-- Overseas property investors in China will start looking at a broader
range of product types and investment scenarios and a much wider
range of geographical locations.
-- India's hospitality sector is expected to emerge as a key area for
investors over the next few years, due to a demand-supply imbalance
and a lack of quality infrastructure.
-- A resurgent Japanese economy and strong demand from investment funds,
particularly foreign funds, is driving commercial land prices upwards.
-- There is a new sense of optimism in Singapore brought on by an
improving economy, emerging high-impact tourism and iconic real
estate projects.
-- A revised Korean REITs Act will lessen stringent conditions placed on
establishing REITs and is expected to significantly increase the
REITs market share.
