Top markets were China, Japan and Australia.

Real Capital Analytics (RCA) reported that Asia Pacific’s real estate investments increased by 6% to US$157.5b in 2017.

Despite a 6% decline to US$36.2b in acquisitions, China remained in its top spot as Asia Pacific’s largest market for income-producing property, followed by Japan (+3% to US$34.9b), Australia (-10% to US$23.8b), Hong Kong (39% to US$20.9b), and Singapore (+50% to US$15b).

Further, apartment acquisitions rose by 57% YoY to US$20.3b, whilst office sales increased by 20% YoY to US$19.1b.

Additionally, hotel acquisitions dipped by 4% YoY to US$10.9b, and office acquisitions fell by 2% YoY to US$74.7b. Retail acquisitions retained its sales at US$32.5b.

“The unwillingness of existing owners to sell and rapidly increasing prices spurred investors to move to other asset classes,” RCA said.

Meanwhile, sales of development sites also increased by 41% YoY to $644b in 2017, which were highly driven by transactions in Hong Kong and China.

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.
