Asia Pacific Capital Tracker 3Q20

Asia Pacific real estate investment showed signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2020 with US$35 billion in direct transactions committed between July and September 2020.

Key Highlights:

• Asia Pacific real estate investment rebounds 35% in Q3 2020
• Quarter-on-quarter rise led by stronger investor activity in China, South Korea and Japan
• Third quarter volumes down 19% year-on-year in Asia Pacific
• Logistics and data centre investments accelerating regionally  

"Investors returned in greater numbers in the third quarter, reaffirming their appetite for North Asia assets and real estate linked to logistics and data centres. We're confident that the fourth quarter will present a broader range of opportunities across the region, particularly in classes like multifamily and rebounding markets like Singapore," says Regina Lim, Head of Capital Markets Research, Asia Pacific.
