Is it time to consider joint ventures and access new capital sources?

Competitive markets require more creative investment strategies such as joint ventures, re-capitalisations and platform investments. Innovative financing and refinancing methods will mitigate economic headwinds and varying valuations as the market continues its recovery.

Diversify

Is it time to diversify your portfolio and enter new cities?

Asia Pacific is home to the most dynamic urban centres in the world. Increasingly, institutional capital is hunting for opportunity beyond gateway cities. Cities that can attract talent, and develop flexible, sustainable, technology-driven assets will attract institutional capital.

Is it time to repurpose your assets to better accommodate new ways of working?

The world of real estate has changed and for those who own and operate buildings, this presents challenges and opportunities. Given the accelerated shift in occupier expectations, investors will need to repurpose existing assets to build resilience across their portfolio and drive performance.
