The Asia Pacific real estate landscape is evolving, witnessing a surge in alternative sectors such as data centers and healthcare. A collaborative survey by APREA and CenterSquare Investment Management gathered insights from diverse industry leaders and professionals, revealing a notable inclination towards alternative real estate.
Investors foresee higher potential returns in these sectors over the next 1-3 years, with a strong focus on data centers, healthcare, and multi-family and student accommodations. Challenges include limited stock availability and the importance of operating platforms for optimal returns.
Japan is perceived as the current hotspot, while Indonesia and Thailand emerge as promising markets for the future. The survey emphasizes the need for ongoing education to enhance investor understanding of the evolving real estate dynamics.

Notwithstanding these near-term fluctuations, the underlying driver for the sector in Asia Pacific is one of growth and expansion. This is being fuelled by several sources which is driving transformative change across the region and is creating a range of opportunities for occupiers, developers and investors alike. However, at the same time there are challenges that need to be overcome for the sector to reach its full potential in the region.

The Global Real Estate DEI Survey is the only corporate study of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) management practices and data benchmarking in the commercial real estate (CRE) industry.
This third iteration of the Global Real Estate DEI Survey is the result of the collaboration between six sponsoring associations NAREIM, NCREIF, PREA, REALPAC, ULI and Ferguson Partners, as well as 14 supporting associations AFIRE, AIA, APREA, AREF, BOMA, BPF, CFMA, CoreNet Global, CREFC, EPRA, NAIOP, OSCRE, PFA and RICS.
This is a summary report of high-level results providing a view of DEI metrics relating to:
departure trends year-over-year.
Survey participants receive a spreadsheet with full data, providing for an in-depth look and suitable for benchmarking DEI policies and achievements against peers.
The Global Real Estate DEI Survey Volume III represents 296,902 full-time real estate employees, $1.98 trillion of assets under management, and a cross-section of the commercial real estate industry in terms of size, region and business classification.
The Survey brings together participation from 216 unique organizations which provided 236 submissions detailing their DEI practices in North America (79.2% of respondents), Europe (11.9%) and Asia-Pacific (8.9%). Data was collected between July 17 and September 29, 2023.

Over 500 responses were received from participants who were asked a range of questions related to their buying intentions, perceived challenges and preferred strategies, sectors and markets for the coming year.
The survey uncovered persistently weak buying intentions across Asia Pacific, with selling intentions hitting the highest mark since surveys began. Whilst the rate hike cycle has come to a halt in major global markets, investors are waiting for indications that the current repricing cycle has finished before deploying significant amounts of capital.
Investors in most markets (ex. Japan) will therefore continue to adopt a wait and see approach in H1 2024. However, amid growing expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will begin cutting rates in H2 2024, and Asia Pacific’s central banks following suit, commercial real estate investment activity should accelerate in the back half of the year.
