OUTBOUND real estate investment by Chinese mainland investors will likely double this year from 2013, international real estate services provider Colliers International predicted.

The total value of outbound real estate investment from the mainland has grown from around US$69 million in 2008 to more than US$16 billion in 2013, according to a white paper released today by Colliers.

"All signs point to overseas investment from Chinese developers and institutional investors picking up dramatically," noted Terence Tang, managing director of capital markets and investment services Asia at Colliers International. "Given the expected appreciation of the yuan and the sustained growth of demand for real estate with attractive yields, Chinese investment in overseas property will likely double in 2014."

Developers and institutional investors, among others, have been looking abroad for higher returns, to diversify and create an international image, the property advisor said.

The US, UK and Australia have been the preferred destinations, especially London, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sydney and Melbourne, for outbound Chinese capital in the last five years.

The next wave of outbound investment will include an expanded focus within gateway cities or even an expansion to others such as Seattle, Boston, Munich, Paris and Brisbane, Colliers predicted.

Colliers also said they are seeing increasing interest in commercial real estate opportunities among Chinese investors.
