Report Summary: There is a mood of cautious optimism amongst Asia Pacific real estate leaders about the prospects for 2026. However, this optimism is fragile and subject to concerns about geopolitics and cost inflation. Furthermore, sentiment varies widely across the region: positive in Japan and Singapore, less so in China and Hong Kong. Emerging Trends in Real Estate® Asia Pacific finds an industry beginning to get to grips with AI and its impact on real estate markets and businesses, companies taking a more practical and pragmatic approach to sustainability, and investors focusing more than ever on a handful of developed markets. Equity capital-raising remains tough, although easier for certain strategies, and banks remain keen to support the sector in most markets. The redesigned report covers a broad range of themes, sectors and markets, in four main sections: business environment, real estate capital markets, sectors to watch and cities to watch.
