First-tier cities draw capital into offices
Print Edition
First-TIER cities, led by Beijing and Shanghai, remain preferred sites for office investment in China despite rather low net yields, CBRE concluded after tracking 15 major Chinese cities.
Boasting stable returns with a low level of risk, underpinned by a well-developed market and resilient demand from foreign and domestic clients, first-tier cities rank higher in CBRE’s MarketScore system, a strategic framework to evaluate real estate investment potential according to their risks and returns.
The key challenge for most first-tier cities, however, is aggressive pricing as net yields for office investments in these cities range from 4 percent to 5 percent.
“As economic and social development varies significantly across different Chinese cities, it can be challenging for investors to choose where to invest and where to buy,” said Frank Chen, executive director and head of CBRE Research China. “The scoring exercise aims to identify the most attractive real estate market from an investor perspective, based on fundamental drivers.”
Beijing topped the MarketScore ranking due to its strong historical rental performance, low vacancy rate and limited future supply.
Shanghai was second due to a strong net take-up and the highest investment liquidity.
Wuhan was third although abundant future supply will curb rental growth in the near term, CBRE said.
