Equity capital flows into real estate continue to be robust and investors are looking globally for investment opportunities. We are able to successfully identify and execute on opportunities that exist around the world based on our geographically diverse platform, our worldwide relationships with corporations and real estate companies, and our view that real estate market fundamentals continue to improve. |
The market is very strong. Institutional investors now have a stronger appetite for investing in the real estate market along with retail investors. |
There's a good chance our investment volume could be more diversified across the region this year. |
We believe India presents an extremely compelling investment story and expect to be a long-term investor in the real estate sector. The residential market is attractive because of rapid urbanization, the availability of housing finance, and the strong growth of the consumer segment. |
We have a very constructive view on China: We like the economic story and we like the real estate story. We have a very deep pipeline and there are a lot of things going on. I wouldn't be surprised if we invest this year as much capital in China as we do in Japan. |
