CBRE forecasts a positive outlook for the Asia Pacific commercial real estate market in 2026, anticipating increased investment and leasing activity due to the region's economic strength and improved investor sentiment. Investment volume is projected to rise by 5-10% year-on-year, driven by greater investor confidence, easing financing, and reduced supply in some areas. A CBRE survey reveals net buying intentions are at a four-year high, with core-plus and value-add strategies favored. Offices are regaining popularity as an asset class, alongside industrial & logistics and data centers. Tokyo remains the top investment destination, followed by Sydney, Singapore, and Seoul, with Hong Kong SAR re-entering the top five due to renewed interest from mainland Chinese investors.
