Real estate investment volume grows by 44.5% in Q2

The residential market posted a strong performance whilst retail continues to struggle.

Real estate investment volumes grew by 44.5% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in the second quarter (Q2), according to the latest report from CBRE Research.

This is equivalent to $5.9b.

The residential market continued to have a strong performance amidst the heightened restrictions from mid-May to early June.

On the other hand, the retail market continues to struggle as tourism borders remain closed and work-from-home being the default.

The office market had a net absorption of -0.36 mil sq ft in Q2, driven by earlier relocation moves and downsizing efforts by occupiers.

Overall leasing interest in business parks was also subdued, with net absorption of 0.13 mil sq ft in Q2.

As for the industrial market, space availability for warehouse and prime logistics remained tight, shooting up rents by $1.3 and 2.9% QoQ, respectively.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
