“Despite operating under the shadow of the pandemic, warehouse markets across the region have remained largely stable, driven by sustained demand from the e-commerce sector. Recent events that have impacted commitments to customers have put the development of supply chain resilience into focus and major occupiers are responding by re-configuring their strategies through building out inventory buffers and expanding urban distribution nodes. This will have positive knock-on effects for demand to strengthen for logistics spaces. Developers in the region remain on the hunt for opportunities to capitalise on growth trends, indicating sustained confidence in the region’s warehouse markets.”
Download the Report Read MoreThe ongoing recovery in key property markets across Asia Pacific continued in the second quarter of 2021 and looks set to sustain through the second half, aided by strong demand for commercial assets from end-users as well as investors.
In China, a total of 30 deals were finalised across major markets, as both domestic and foreign market participants sought to acquire key assets across property segments. Korea continued to witness record-high unit prices for prime office space in Seoul, and Japan’s property markets remained buoyant in the face of stringent restrictions. In Singapore, investment activity was dominated by the privatisation of REITs, while in India, global private equity (PE) firms and developers made significant acquisitions in metro markets. Taiwan witnessed a surge in demand for commercial property from manufacturers on the back of strong export growth. In the Philippines, e-commerce companies and outsourcing firms took up space in data centres while healthcare and logistics companies should lead office take-up in the coming months. Thailand’s office market remained stable though its troubled hospitality industry could see higher transaction levels as beleaguered owners look to sell assets. We also expect to see more joint ventures between Thai and international investors across sectors. In Indonesia, the residential sector is expected to receive a boost from the extension of a tax waiver while urban mixed-use projects in the capital, Jakarta, received an influx of foreign funds as investors bet on a speedy post-COVID-19 recovery.

尽管新冠疫情前景尚未完全明朗，其对亚太地区写字楼租户的干扰正在减少。在灵活办公和新型工作模式日益普遍的趋势引导下，区域内企业已经在重启对不动产策略的长期规划。
针对“新常态”之下的写字楼发展和企业租户的应对措施，CBRE世邦魏理仕于5月启动了《未来的办公场所——2021年亚太区写字楼租户调查》，并于近期发布调查结果，确立了“区域内经济稳步复苏”、“企业不动产组合规模增长预期提高”、“混合办公趋势上升”、“未来的工作场所将更重视促进沟通与协作”、“企业将实施更具灵活性的工作场所设置”等五个主要的写字楼趋势。
该项针对亚太区各地不同行业写字楼租户的调查发现，大部分（71%）受访企业都认为企业经营环境正持续改善，这一比例显著高于2020年4月（22%）与10月（48%）的两次调查结果。其中，大中华区和太平洋地区受访企业的市场信心水平最高，而印度和东南亚地区企业对市场的乐观程度则相对较低。
Download the Report Read MoreWith many markets succeeding in containing the pandemic and relaxing restrictions on business and social activity to some degree over the past six months, this year has seen a significant improvement in business sentiment across Asia Pacific. About 71% of survey respondents believe current business conditions are improving, marking substantial progress from the two surveys CBRE conducted in October and April 2020. Confidence was highest in Greater China and the Pacific, while India and Southeast Asia were less optimistic as they struggle to contain a new wave of infections. The unpredictability of infection rates will continue to weigh on the pace of the regional recovery for the foreseeable future. However, the rapid increase in vaccination rates in mature Asia markets and the reopening of offices globally will further strengthen corporate confidence in the handling of the pandemic.
