Our highly anticipated flagship event, the CBRE Hong Kong Forum, is set to take place on October 21. This year, CBRE sector experts and industry leaders will gather to explore the key challenges radically transforming the real estate landscape and to discuss strategies for businesses to thrive. Moderated by Hannah Jeong, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, the first panel discussion will feature industry experts including Broderick Storie from PAG, John Lam, CFA from UBS, Sarah Cooper from BofA, and Reeves Yan, Head of Capital Markets at CBRE Hong Kong. The panellists will discuss how the U.S. election and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions will impact real estate cap rates in Hong Kong. The session will also explore two different “what if” scenarios and answer forward-thinking questions on the matter.

📣 Last Chance to Join Us for Tomorrow’s Webinar! Don’t miss out on our upcoming session on 15 August at 1 PM SGT. Here’s a glimpse of what we will be covering. Japan’s Exit from Zero Monetary Policy. While rate rises in July have tempered investor expectations in traditional sectors, Japan's hotel market has emerged as the leading asset class, overtaking offices in Q2. Distress on the Rise: From China to Key Markets. Distress levels are escalating across APAC, with South Korea’s industrial sector among those impacted by this growing trend. Resilience in APAC’s Living Sectors. Despite a 31% decline in traditional real estate sectors, living sectors have held strong with just an 8% drop. Australia’s land lease communities are particularly noteworthy, with $1.1 billion in transactions so far in 2024, setting new records. Australia’s Office Sector: A Phoenix Rising? Significant price declines and yield expansions have lured investors back into Australia’s office market. Deals like Keppel REIT’s acquisition of 255 George St and Clarence Property’s pending acquisition of a Brisbane office suggest price adjustments are restoring market liquidity by drawing a wider group of investors back into the market.
