November 29, 2018 Japan Real Estate Institute (JREI) JREI-kenkyu-madoguchi@imail.jrei.jp Summary of JREI Global Property Value/Rent Indices (No. 11, Oct. 2018) We are pleased to release a summary of the results of the 11th JREI Global Property Value/Rent Indices (as of October 2018). Survey Results at a Glance (Change Rates during the Period from Apr. 2018 to Oct. 2018) ( Office Market Bangkok: the highest growth rates in office building value and rent during the last six-month period among the monitored cities; expanding demand for office space from both domestic firms and foreign corporations amid Thailand s current strong economy, which has been showing one of the most robust trends in Southeast Asian nations. Tokyo: continuation of increasing office building value despite a concern about a glut of office space due to a large volume of new supply in 2018; stable office space demand owing to healthy corporate earnings; on-going cap rate compression under an easy lending environment. New York : flat value and rent movements; TAMI (Technology, Advertising, Media & Information) tenants and WeWork and other co-working space providers led the leasing market; market participants consensus on the Fed s intent of raising rates. : no major impact of impending Brexit on the office market; new investment in office buildings by foreign buyers, especially those from Asian nations; slight declines in both value and rent. Condominium Market As in the previous survey, Hong Kong was ranked No. 1 for the growth rate in condominium value among the surveyed cities (+6.8%). The residential market has been buoyant since the second half of 2016 in Hong Kong thanks to the active investment behaviors of people from mainland China. However, some pundits began to worry about the prospect of the market due to the recent stagnant stock markets and the trade frictions between the States and China.
