According to new research from JLL, real estate investment across the Asia-Pacific region is up some 90% on pre-pandemic levels with activity in the key markets of Australia & China leading the way.

Key highlights of the report include:

"Lender diversity and risk appetite is trending toward pre-pandemic norms".

"Lenders are becoming aggressive in more segments of the market with favourable debt terms no longer confined to the logistics and living sectors".

"The increased competition and depth of capital targeting real estate are benefitting pricing and accelerating discovery in lagging segments of the market".

"There is a renewed sense of optimism surrounding the industry’s recovery driven largely by increasing vaccination rates; however, progress is mixed across the regions. Leisure markets continue to outperform".

"In Asia Pacific Japan remained the most active market for multi-family in Q2, while the purpose-built student accommodation sector in Australia has been heavily impacted by the decrease in overseas students".

"Prime and premium rents are holding up better than Grade A, and this occupier focus is likely to lead to further bifurcation in the market".
