Investors: We’re Ready to Spend on CRE

Investors expect to pour money into commercial real estate this year, according to CBRE’s “Global Investor Intention Survey 2017.”

“The sum total of planned capital expenditure by investors is $1.7 trillion,” the report finds. “Investors will not be able to deploy all of this capital, but the figure illustrates the potential capital available for real estate investment.”

It adds: “Although investors do not seem unduly concerned about the big political shifts that are taking place, there is indirect evidence that they are nervous about Europe. North America is, more strongly than last year, the preferred region for investors.” That said, the survey also finds that investors are “increasingly interested in the U.K.,” even amid Brexit talks.

CBRE concludes that, “Offices is the most popular sector but logistics, up very strongly in 2017, is a very close second.”
