Colliers förutspår en 50-procentig ökning av investeringsaktiviteten under 2021

Enligt Colliers Internationals senaste rapport ”Global Capital Markets 2021 Investor Outlook” är investerare i stor utsträckning optimistiska när det gäller återhämtningen på marknaden för 2021. Colliers förutspår en 50-procentig ökning av den globala investeringsaktiviteten under andra halvåret, vilket pekar på ett brett förtroende för fastighetsmarknaden till följd av den senaste utvecklingen av vaccinet och global geopolitisk stabilitet.

Joachim Svedberg, Acting Head of Capital Markets på Colliers: ”De internationella investerarna stod för knappt 30 % av omsättningen i Sverige under 2020, trots rådande reserestriktioner. Vi kommer sannolikt att se lättnader i resandet under året och detta kommer leda till att både befintliga och nya investerare kommer att göra nya och fler affärer i Sverige. Fokus kommer precis som under 2020 att vara förvärv av kontor, logistik och bostäder.”

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.
