\"\"<\/a>Worldwide, commercial real estate markets remain flat or nearly so, although tenant demand is still high in the U.S., according to the latest quarterly U.S. and Global Commercial Property Monitors from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.<\/p>\n

In the December-into-January surveys, respondents were asked to compare CRE conditions over the latest three months with the previous three months and to provide their own views on the outlook for CRE.<\/p>\n

From a global standpoint, the report says, \u201cSentiment towards real estate remains firm across much of the globe<\/em>,\u201d although that means different things in different places. First, the RICS calls out India and Brazil as bright spots.<\/p>\n

India seems to be picking up after what the report describes as \u201ca more subdued period<\/em>.\u201d Underlying economic activity is accelerating modestly, and the completion of recapitalizing public-sector banks should also boost the CRE sector. Both tenant demand and investor interest improved toward the end of 2018. More importantly, perhaps, survey respondents see the market as being in the upturn phase of the cycle \u201cand, on balance, representing fair value for investors.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that Brazil is past its presidential election, that country too is seeing an uptick, with investment inquiries hitting a post-2013 peak. Occupier demand is up slightly, as are projections for both rents and capital values, versus earlier in the year. As in India, survey respondents perceive the market as \u201cstill very much in the early stages of the upturn\u2026<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In China, however, the CRE sector seems to have lost a little momentum, over concerns about the slowing economy. Both the Occupier Sentiment Index and Investor Sentiment Index saw \u201cmodestly negative readings for the first time in around two years \u2026 reflected in a broadly flat outlook for both rents and capital values at the 12-month time horizon.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

For both tenants and investors, Europe remains the most stable market in absolute terms; Portugal, Hungary, Spain and Greece are among the top performers. Germany \u201cis viewed as being closer to the peak of the cycle and generally more stretched from a valuation perspective<\/em>,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

The results for the United Kingdom appear to reflect \u201ca little more caution as the negotiations around Brexit become more fraught \u2026 many comments from contributors did highlight uncertainty engendered by Brexit as a challenge for the market<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

A split market in the U.S.<\/h2>\n

Here in the U.S., the RICS report sees \u201ca significant divergence<\/em>\u201d across the office, retail and industrial sectors, averaging out to \u201ca relatively flat headline picture<\/em>\u201d that looks likely to persist a while longer.<\/p>\n

As an example of that divergence, the report notes that rental growth projections for 2019 are largely unchanged from the previous quarter. Prime industrial rents are seen posting the strongest rise, of about 4 percent, and prime office and secondary industrial rents too are expected to increase, by close to 2 percent. \u201cMeanwhile, rental expectations are negative for both the prime and secondary retail submarkets<\/em>,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n

Increased investor interest in industrial properties \u201cwas largely offset by a decline in demand across the retail sector.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

RICS economist Tarrant Parsons, who worked on the report<\/a>, also recorded a podcast with Commercial Property Executive<\/em> on the dominant global CRE trends<\/a> going into the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
