Cushman & Wakefield<\/a>‘s new Great Wall of Money report, newly-raised capital available for investment in the global market reached new heights in 2015 at a record $443 billion. And\u00a0the commercial real estate services firm expects\u00a0the figure to swell in 2016.<\/p>\nWhile\u00a0available capital\u00a0was off the charts, growth actually went on the downswing, dropping\u00a0from 21 percent in 2014 to just 3 percent\u00a0in 2015.\u00a0But\u00a0positive growth is positive growth.\u00a0The number was highest in Asia Pacific, where the $131 billion in available capital marked an\u00a08 percent increase. And although the\u00a0Americas saw just a 2 percent increase in capital growth, the region\u2014with the U.S. leading the way\u2014still topped the list with $169 billion.<\/p>\n
The money is being invested all over the place\u2014or in just one\u00a0location. Per the report, 58 percent of investors are focusing on a single geography, while 42 percent are targeting multiple countries. Again,\u00a0more eyes are on the Americas, where 48 percent of single-country investors are\u00a0placing their funds.\u00a0Asia Pacific follows with 30 percent and\u00a0EMEA brings up the rear with 22 percent. Additionally, with diversification in mind, cross-border activity will continue to increase.<\/p>\n
And while most investors prefer to focus on a single country, they aren’t focusing on single asset types. Multifamily remains the investor favorite, attracting 23 percent of capital, with much of that figure\u00a0honing\u00a0in\u00a0on the U.S. market. Europe,\u00a0specifically Germany and the Netherlands due to their large rental markets, are moving up on the radar.<\/p>\n
But just\u00a0how investors invest, will evolve.\u00a0 \u201cAs opinion on the future of the markets becomes increasingly divided, we anticipate there will be a further transformation in the way in which capital is allocated. Investors will focus on de-risking decisions and will favour preferred managers with strong track records. In addition, given the significant capital allocated to real estate, investors will evaluate joint venture and platform deals as a route to deploy capital more easily in the market,” Carlo Barel di Sant\u2019Albano,\u00a0chief executive\u00a0of C&W\u2019s Global Capital Markets & Investor Services business,\u00a0said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n
However, there’s nothing in the forecast that will dampen\u00a0the allure of the commercial real estate market. As noted in the report, “Continued volatility in equity markets is also supporting flows of capital into direct markets. As a result, we anticipate record levels of new capital for investment in commercial real estate.” Specifically, C& W predicts\u00a04.2 percent growth in investment activity in 2016.” That capital will continue to target\u00a0the\u00a0 large and liquid markets around the world, namely, the\u00a0U.S.,\u00a0China, the\u00a0U.K. and Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
