Beyond Core: Growing Investment Appetite for Non-traditional and Alternative Sectors in Asia Pacific
Commercial real estate investors in Asia Pacific, after a cautious H1 2024, anticipate a surge in capital deployment in H2, aligning with expected rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and regional central banks. The CBRE 2024 Asia Pacific Investor Intentions Survey indicates stable net buying intentions, with high-net worth/private investors driving buying activity, particularly in response to price corrections and distressed opportunities. The report highlights a growing interest in alternative sectors, with healthcare-related properties leading as the most preferred alternative asset class, followed by real estate debt, reflecting investors' pursuit of higher risk-return profiles amid the bottom of the cycle.
