The elusive ‘soft landing’ may yet be feasible for this year. Inflation has peaked and labour markets remain firm; Europe has survived the winter without rationing energy supply; and China is rapidly dismantling zero-Covid restrictions.

However, there are plenty of potential obstacles along the way, and you cannot escape an important caveat attached to any recent economic forecast; risks are weighted to the downside.

Over the following pages, we dig deeper into the key trends impacting global real estate capital markets. There are plenty of cliché’s about taking risk, but in real estate, perhaps the most applicable in the context of the current environment is that ‘risk and opportunity are two sides of the same coin.’

In addition to an uncertain economic outlook, real estate investors have to further contend with structural shifts in the way we live, work, and play, all of which will require an increase in utilisation of some types of real estate, and less of others. It is our job to help our clients find the right balance between risk and opportunity.

With this in mind, we hope you enjoy the contents of this, our inaugural, Global Capital Markets report. Taking stock: A review of the Global Real Estate Capital Markets.
