As China’s economy shifts from high-speed growth to high-quality, emphasis on structural optimization and new growth drivers has never been more crucial. Traditional real estate markets face cyclical challenges, prompting industry leaders to explore innovative trends and models for sustainable development. The growing focus on new economy assets is underscored by the steady advancement of China’s public REITs infrastructure, which brings added momentum and support to this evolving sector.
In response, the Asia Pacific Real Estate Association (APREA) is launching a series of seminars to spotlight new economy real estate in China. These sessions will convene top industry executives and experts to analyze emerging trends, debate business model innovation, and uncover valuable investment opportunities.
Our upcoming session will focus on affordable housing and rental apartments, two sectors gaining prominence with urban expansion and shifting housing demands. We’re pleased to invite executives from institutional investors, real estate funds, and asset managers to exchange insights on the latest market trends, challenges, and opportunities, with a particular emphasis on REITs' pivotal role in driving growth within these sectors.
