CBRE’s 2023 China Investor Intentions Survey was conducted between November 8, 2022, and December 2, 2022. A total of 207 mostly China-based investors participated in the survey, which asked respondents a range of questions regarding their buying appetite and preferred real estate strategies, sectors and markets for 2023.

Pandemic-related uncertainty, geopolitical tension, slower economic growth and weaker leasing fundamentals dampened commercial real estate investment sentiment in China in 2022. Full-year investment volume dropped by 22% y-o-y to RMB 220 billion, while cross-border investment fell by 19% y-o-y to RMB 49 billion. Active sectors included multifamily, science parks and industrial factories, which continued to benefit from the development of a public REIT market.

Respondents’ intentions to “buy more” and “sell more” both dropped in 2023 due to recessionary fears and mounting geopolitical tension, reflecting the mood of caution in the short-term. However, it should be noted that this survey was conducted between November 8, 2022, and December 2, 2022, prior to the government’s unveiling of a 10-point plan signalling a shift away from the zero-covid policy. CBRE expects the relaxation of the zero-covid policy; the release of industrial support policies including the “three arrows”; and the promotion of the platform economy to boost investor sentiment, ensuring actual investment activity eclipses the survey results.

A recent CBRE survey of more than 500 commercial real estate professionals worldwide revealed these key findings:

  • Focus on ESG Intensified in 2022: Nearly 70% of survey respondents reported a heightened focus on ESG strategies in 2022, mostly due to higher energy prices and government-imposed ESG disclosure requirements.
  • Reducing Energy Consumption a Priority: Three-quarters of all respondents say that reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions is the top ESG consideration most likely to impact property value.
  • Emphasis on Tenant/Employee Well-Being: More than 80% of respondents indicate that proximity to public transit (or lack thereof) impacts property value as easier commutes are associated with better employee well-being.
