2020 was a watershed year for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing in real estate as pandemic- and climate-related disruption, along with growing recognition of social inequity, prompted investors to adopt a more robust approach to sustainability-related risks.

60% of respondents to CBRE’s 2021 Global Investor Intentions Survey stated that they have already adopted ESG criteria as part of their investment strategies, with the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific all recording a stronger focus on ESG issues than in previous years.

With ESG now playing a much more prominent role in how companies operate, investors are embedding ESG considerations into every stage of the property lifecycle, from due diligence to acquisitions and from leasing to asset management.

Investment Volume Remains High As Office Net Absorption Sets New Benchmark

OFFICE

LOGISTICS

No new logistics supply came on stream in Q3 2021. 3PLs continued to dominate leasing demand, with Songjiang, Fengxian and Jinshan recording a steady flow of new leases and expansions.
