Sectoral performance in real estate is always under the microscope, but it has never been so acutely examined and reported as it has in the past 12 months. As COVID-19 first spread across the Asia Pacific region and then the globe, bringing with it a global recession, investors and occupiers alike sought not only to limit their exposures but also identify opportunities for growth.

Just as we have seen differing performance between commercial real estate sectors, so too have we seen differing performances within the retail sector. In this report, we focus on the upper echelons of retail – the (super) prime retail streets in cities across the region – as well as discuss other relevant aspects within the sector.
