Heading into 2025, investor confidence in Asia Pacific commercial real estate has improved noticeably, but optimism remains tempered by global economic uncertainties and the US Federal Reserve’s more cautious stance on interest rate cuts. 

Greg Hyland, Head of Capital Markets, Asia Pacific at CBRE, attributes the shift in sentiment to stabilising financial conditions. 

“We are seeing the capping of interest rates in a lot of Asia Pacific markets that we operate in. In some markets, rates have started to decrease, so I think that has given investors a degree of confidence that we are at the top of the rate cycle,” he said. 

Ada Choi, Head of Research, Asia Pacific at CBRE, echoed this sentiment, emphasising that investors are displaying stronger buying intentions this year.
