Adaptive Reuse: Turning Blight into Brightness
From JLL:
Global real estate markets have maintained their momentum since the start of the year despite rising economic and political risks, with investment and corporate occupancy activity reaching its highest level in more than a decade in the first half of 2018. Robust office demand is poised for another strong year for global leasing markets. Leasing volumes are likely to at least match last year's impressive figures, but vacancy rates are expected to gradually rise as the office development cycle peaks. In the logistics sector, robust absorption has kept vacancy rates at record lows, despite rising new supply, further accelerating rental growth. Investor demand remains robust with rising real estate allocations and strong appetite for larger transactions, and global investment volumes are expected to remain elevated and comparable to 2017 levels.
Summary: Five trends to watch
Real estate market on strong track in 2018 Investor interest in real estate remains strong, with increased focus on agility and technology driving the rise of flexible space. Demand for logistics space remains strong across the globe. Retailers focus on new ways to differentiate.
