Colliers Global Investor Outlook Report Anticipates Up To 50% Surge In Global Investment In 2021
January 18 2021 - 5:00AM
Leading diversified professional services and investment management
firm Colliers International Group Inc. (NASDAQ and TSX: CIGI)
reveals investors are largely optimistic about a market rebound in
2021, according to its new Global Capital Markets 2021 Investor
Outlook. Colliers’ research anticipates a 50 per cent surge in
investment activity in the second half of the year, pointing to a
broad-based renewal of confidence in the property market as a
result of recent vaccine developments and continued government
stimulus.
“Based on our global analysis, which gives us a
bird’s-eye view of investors’ interests and expected appetite,
longer-term tailwinds in the property sector remain intact. With a
massive volume of equity raised globally and the need for real
assets, investors are eager to deploy pent-up capital and pursue
opportunities during the year,” said Tony Horrell, Head of Capital
Markets | Global at Colliers International. “We expect to see
movement up the risk curve this year, with investors exploring all
types of assets from senior care homes to public infrastructure
projects.”
The report, which drew nearly 300 respondents
including major institutional investors, listed property companies,
sovereign wealth funds, private equity funds, family offices and
third-party money managers, indicates 98 per cent of investors
across all regions aim to expand their portfolios, with
approximately 60 per cent looking to expand by more than 10 per
cent. Furthermore, 67 per cent of survey respondents in EMEA and 88
per cent of those in the U.S. are planning their next investment as
early as the first quarter of 2021.
Additional key takeaways from the Colliers
Global Capital Markets 2021 Investor Outlook report include:
-
Top-tier city offices remain a primary asset
target. Investors with international capital find the
scale and liquidity of the office sector in major commercial hubs
such as New York, London and Sydney appealing. Having office assets
that meet health, sustainability and technical benchmarks is
important to investors.
-
Logistics and living sectors are thriving. Both
sectors were among investors’ top three choices across all regions.
Intense demand for these assets will require investors to broaden
their geographic focus and build portfolios through joint venture
platforms and local partnerships.
-
Opportunities to repurpose discounted retail and
hospitality assets. Investors are expecting to see pricing
discounts of over 20 per cent in these sectors. They represent a
rare opportunity to acquire core and distressed assets for
ambitious repurposing initiatives.
-
Alternatives, platforms and partnerships are playing a
bigger part. Rising demand for alternative assets such as
data centres, senior living and life science assets reflects
broader structural shifts amplified by the pandemic.
