The wider GPR/APREA Listed Real Estate final dash in December brought total returns back into positive territory for the full year, largely on the performance of markets in Australia and Japan.

Australia’s property stocks have had an outstanding year in 2021 on strong earnings expectations. With inflation expected to remain manageable, the country’s central bank is under no significant pressure to tighten policy rates from the currently historic lows.

Gains were also registered across the rest of the region’s heavyweights, with the exception of Chinese stocks, which continued to remain pressured.

A series of asset sales underscored concern that equity investors will bear the brunt of losses as developers offload projects to repay debt.

However, signs are mounting that China will ease curbs on its property sector. To stem off downward pressure on the economy, the central bank trimmed banks’ reserve requirement ratio in December.

Challenges persist and recovery will take time, but opportunity remains on multiple levels for Hong Kong SAR hotel investors, owners and operators.

Hong Kong SAR1 continues to attract interest from those who recognise the city’s longer-term potential, despite challenges faced with COVID-19 and border restrictions that have led to a lack of mainland and international visitors. Nevertheless, the hotel sector performed well in 2021 compared to the year before, with certain hotels being used as quarantine hotels and a boost in staycation demand and extended-stay offerings.

Set to become the world’s leading wealth management centre with over USD3.2 trillion assets under management (AUM) by 2025, major infrastructure, commercial and leisure initiatives will further elevate Hong Kong SAR’s position as a global city with further long-term potential.

In this special report, we look at:
  • The performance of hotels in Hong Kong SAR, the operating environment and the sector’s supply up to 2026
  • Key trends and challenges in the hotel sector, including technology adoption, asset enhancement and Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)
  • The city’s infrastructure and leisure initiatives with potential benefits for the hotel sector
  • Challenges and opportunities with investing in hotel assets in Hong Kong SAR

Occupier confidence is improving after one-and-half years. Prices are recovering with evident growth of 21% in a span of three months in Q3 of 2021.

Future Flex – A hybrid & productive workspace approach

Strategic agreements for operators

Traditional leases are giving way to models such as:
•Revenue-share model 
•Management contracts
•Hybrid model (fixed minimum rent plus revenue share)
Apart from these, some operators are seen to explore the franchise model, 
although that can pose some risk of brand 

Choice-based model for occupiers
Occupiers are evaluating the concept of ‘work from near-home’ through 
satellite and hub-and-spoke offices. We foresee that these offices will be an 
amalgamation of traditional leases and flex spaces. 
With gig economy gaining traction, we also predict the need for on-demand 
spaces, as occupiers would require space by the hour/week/month for certain 
teams. Such space requirements can successfully be driven by flex spaces. 

Customized deals for Occupiers
Occupiers are opting for tailor-made mandates with operators for future 
expansion and leasing. Flex operators will take up spaces and customize 
them as per the occupiers’ needs. However, at the same time, operators are 
likely to also incorporate and offer some proportion of ready buildings for 
immediate absorption by start-ups and entrepreneurs.

With the scheduled FOMC meeting slated to take place at the start of the month, Asia Pacific stocks were already bracing for a volatile ride from the get-go.

In a widely anticipated move, the Fed affirmed plans to dial back pandemic-era support for the economy, trimming asset purchases by US$15 billion a month. This puts the central bank on track to exit the program by mid-2022.

In the same mold, monetary authorities in South Korea and New Zealand also hiked its policy rates by another 25 basis points. While the moves were largely priced in, it presaged sentiment for the rest of the month.

The detection of the new Covid-19 Omicron variant – which health authorities observed as heavily mutated – sparked a sell off as investors raised alarms on the pandemic’s resurgence and its potential impact on economic growth. The region’s stocks, as measured by the MSCI Total Returns index, fell to its lowest from a year ago.

The region’s REITs were relatively more resilient, shedding 3% during the month to outperformed the region’s wider stock markets.
