But in all cases there are always a winning strategy if you are ahead of the curve," according to SMART's organizer, Hoi Cheung, managing director of SMART Expo Ltd. With professional advice investors can snap up falling prices that now look good value again; take advantage of guarantee yields from buy-to-lets; and be the first to buy low into hotspots with high return on investment. At SMART investors will be able to find winning strategies that meet their own risk assessments. To help investors, SMART offers the world's top cities to invest in property with two panel discussions, 22 seminar presentations and range of property and investment product exhibits.
Regionally, Manila and Tokyo are both top property investment markets in Asia for 2014, according to the "Emerging Trends in Real Estate Asia Pacific" survey by the Urban Land Institute and PwC. Manila ranked fourth out of 23 Asian cities in terms of city investment prospects and Tokyo regained its status as the region's most popular investment destination. SMART visitors will have the opportunity to be the first few to be offered Megaworld's St. Moritz Private Estate at The McKinley West, Manila's premier district. Other hot Philippines destinations include Makati City and Cebu with exhibits at SMART including the Rockwell Center and 32 Sanson respectively.
Not surprisingly, Tokyo's popularity for investors is backed by sound reasoning. Tokyo's property prices rose 13 percent in the last year, according to Knight Frank's prime global cities index, and Tokyo winning the 2020 Olympics has already given a boost to property prices and they are likely to see even more percent rise. Popular developments such as Rising Place and Ryogoku Nibankan are being offered by Century 21, Singapore and Lives Group, Japan will exhibit its new project, Sumida Park Residence which is less than six minutes away from Tokyo's new landmark, "Tokyo SkyTree."
Thailand's economy has a long record of ignoring coups. For many its business as usual. In fact Thai price index for single detached houses was up by 5.71 percent during the year to end-Q1 2014, and price index for townhouses rose by 6.17 percent, according to the Bank of Thailand. Soaring property demand have added renewed impetus for luxury Thai property. The Bangkok Post, Thailand's leading English language newspaper, is leading a group of top Thai developers to SMART including the Bhiraj Buri Group, which specialises in the development of high-quality, bespoke real estate initiatives in desirable locations throughout the Bangkok area. Other top Thai attractions include the Beach Condotel in Phuket, which are freehold condominiums on Kata Beach; Heights Holdings' portfolio includes Arcadia Beach Resort Pattaya, The Wong Amat Tower, Laguna Beach Resort 3 - The Maldives; Trillion Property's Tidy Deluxe Condominium on Sukhumvit Soi 34; and Koh Jum Beach Villas a beachfront resort in Krabi.
Another popular investment destination for Singaporeans is Malaysia. Top Malaysian properties at SMART include R&F Princess Cove; Causeway Regency, an exclusive freehold development situated in the heart of JB City Center; and Arata, Kenny Hills, Kuala Lumpur's most prestigious secluded haven.
From Australia, SODA is currently offering a limited number of apartments in a boutique development known as Pendulum Apartments. At this year's SMART South East property will be showcasing a variety of commercial property from around Australia, from tenanted offices, tenanted retail stores to major shopping centres.
Incredible high yields of 15 percent from Transhudson Hotel rentals is a rare opportunity derived from the extreme lack of accommodation supply against monster demands fuel by the oil boom in North Dakota. Other high yield investments can be gained from numerous alternative investments at SMART. These investments cater for investors looking for superior risk-adjusted returns from sustainable investments such as oil palm and teakwood plantations offered by Cikidang Plantation Resort & Estate; aquaculture investments by RBI Holdings and Aqueous's hydroponic agriculture investment which have hit many scientific headlines and is now attracting a lot of investors' attention.
