Investors need to realign their retail strategies
Traditional investment approaches are being challenged and investors need new strategies to drive returns and reduce risk.
Recalibrate your asset and capital strategies
Mitigate risk and generate greater returns
Build resilience to withstand future unknowns
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.
Is it time to diversify your portfolio and enter new cities?
Asia Pacific is home to the most dynamic urban centers 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. High performing assets will embrace new trends in flexibility, technology and sustainability.
