During the first half of 2020, we saw the pandemic have a material and unprecedented impact on the global economy, which has significantly disrupted commercial real estate around the world. Over the last quarter, countries across Asia Pacific have taken small steps towards recovery, with the region well placed to lead the world out of recession.
In this report we take a look at where those green shoots of opportunity are emerging, our view on the second half of the year and how investors, landlords,
and tenants alike should make real estate decisions in this environment.
INVESTOR HEADLINES
Although investment volumes in Asia Pacific
were down in H1 by 42% year-on-year, pricing has

OCCUPIER
HEADLINES
With most tenants across Asia Pacific having experienced partial or total remote work during the pandemic, we have naturally seen a fall in demand for space alongside widespread rental decline. Ahead, occupiers have a significant opportunity to:
Carefully think whether to surrender/sub-lease space.
Markets are likely to be flush with options resulting in low returns for sub-lessors.
Align financial goals with CRE strategy, flexible working policies and change management to enact workplace transformation.
Give high priority to office workplace design, technology, wellness and well being.
Ensure facilities management is increasingly nimble and more focussed on user experience than tactical delivery.
Prioritise wellness standards and touchless technology which are expected to increase in importance.
