Introduction
This report has been prepared by Cushman & Wakefield to provide an introduction to the worlds key commercial real estate investment markets in 2012 and an indication of activity in 2013.
The report provides an overview of global activity together with market by market profiles for 51 countries. It covers the main areas of activity, showing the size and status of each and giving a flavour for the real estate sectors and a brief view on where each is heading. The information used is an initial estimate made in February 2013 and hence may be subject to change. With particular reference to investment volumes, where the data was sourced from RCA for EMEA and the Americas (ex USA), the data is at 13 February and for Asia Pacific and the USA as at 19February. The report summary refers to capital flows incorporating all sectors, including multifamily residential and development sites given their importance in key global markets. The individual country pages indicate volumes excluding multifamily residential. All investment volumes are quoted pertaining to deals of US$5 mn and above. In addition the report contains summary global yield, investment volume and lease term tables. The final section of the report provides a range of contact points for Cushman & Wakefield Research and Capital Markets globally.

The market to date has remained selective and focused on core. By region, North America and developing Asia drove the overall global rise, with mature European and Asian markets largely flat and emerging markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America all down. By country, the USA and Mexico were the biggest gainers in the Americas; in Asia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand enjoyed the strongest expansion; and in Europe, Finland, Norway, Switzerland and Ireland saw the highest growth rates. Additionally, the more marginal increases in big markets like China, Germany and Hong Kong were also clearly instrumental in delivering growth at the global level.
Finance shortages are less a handicap to the market than they were, albeit they are also not yet sufficiently reversed to actually encourage activity in some areas, most notably Europe. Uncertainty due to new regulations such as Solvency II has not helped the banks of course, many of which are still seeking to cut their real estate exposure, but a steady flow of new players are entering the market, such as funds and insurance companies and there have also been renewed CMBS raisings in the USA. Stock shortages remain a more noted barrier to activity although some improvement is being seen thanks to bank restructuring and deleveraging which is still led by the US and the UK but with a growing contribution from other markets. This is now producing further opportunities, albeit still of a very much controlled flow of product and not a flood, at least with respect to real estate loans or assets of any quality. In addition, developers have also been a major source of stock as have corporates, although less so than in 2011 and less than might have been expected. In fact, some companies are putting capital back into their real estate as they look for safe ways to use their cash pile.

Overall, investment demand remains more robust than supply, with cross border players key to this interest. These and other core investors have in general stayed focused on a small number of the largest and most liquid markets. Indeed, with plenty still to worry about economically and politically in many areas, investors stayed very alert to danger throughout 2012. However, by the year-end we were seeing the first signs that some were ready to increase their risk tolerance, a trend initiated by US investors. An increasing number of opportunistic buyers are also now getting busier looking at the assets being offloaded by banks. According to RCA, 13% of all deals came from distressed property, up from 8% in the previous two years. However, while the dominant trends of 2013 to date include a talk of recovery, increased confidence and moving up the risk curve, there is a possibility of overhyping secondary markets too early or at least oversimplifying what makes a property or location secondary and underestimating risk as a result. As ever, following what tenants want will be the key to successful investment. To date this recovery, and the improving economic confidence behind it, have more resonance with the investment than the occupier market.
REGIONAL TRENDS
In most aspects of market performance, the Americas are leading and EMEA is lagging behind, with Asia somewhere in between. The Americas saw stronger investment activity, a bigger contraction in yields and more positive rental growth. Asia was more stable, with a good start to 2012 partly offset by falls later in the year, while EMEA clearly bore the brunt of the market slowdown. The Americas share of global trading rose to 32% from 2011s 28%, while EMEA slipped to 21% (from 24%). Asia remained the largest global trading block, accounting for 47% of market activity, down from 48% in 2011. Interestingly, this investment landscape remains a domestically driven picture. Among cross border players, Europe is the biggest target market, attracting 51% of capital, up from 45% in 2011. By contrast Asia speaks for 31% of cross border investment and the Americas 18% - down from 20% in 2011. Meanwhile, occupier markets were clearly a lot more cautious in 2012, resulting in slower demand and rental falls in some areas. However, the overall low supply levels have been key in supporting all regions; indeed, while rents did reverse in some areas later in 2012, growth for the year was broadly positive. Retail tended to be the best performing sector and the Americas the best performing region in all sectors, typically led by South America ahead of the USA and Canada.

Prime yields are under pressure to fall, even though prime rents in many markets are some way from delivering any growth, and in second-tier areas rents and occupancy have further to fall. Indeed, occupancy generally was down last year although as with investment, a number of global markets had a better end to the year than had been expected. Signs of better global economic sentiment are in many ways most relevant to occupier trends, however, because of their potential to restart corporate investment. Although many tenants remain cost conscious, more are ready to think about re-examining their space needs. As a result, even though net expansion will remain low in the months ahead, more global leasing activity is likely, and this will be the primary indication that a sustained investment market recovery has begun.

SECTOR TRENDS
Sector trends were broadly stable last year, with multifamily the main area to see some gains, rising most notably in the Americas but also acquiring market share in EMEA as well. Offices remain larger as an investment sector, at 24% versus 15% for retail and 12.5% for multifamily, although development sites is the biggest sector overall, accounting for 38.8% of investment last year. Office demand has been solid despite a weaker occupational market in some areas. The sector is increasingly viewed on a global scale as buyers look towards gateway cities and consider the positive supply fundamentals. Retail investment demand has also been generally good but activity has been held back by stock shortages in many areas. The sector is seeing healthy tenant interest in Asia if somewhat more subdued in line with economic trends, while US markets are bottoming out. In general, Europe remains a weaker market with plenty of restructuring to come, but cross border, luxury and flagship demand in top pitches and cities is strong while emerging markets Russia and Turkey are set to perform well. Industrial warehousing markets are holding up in most areas, at least in terms of demand for modern space as supply chains are adapted and retail growth in areas such as Asia generates new demand.
Cushman & Wakefield advised the US Department of State on the sale of their existing London Embassy building and the acquisition of a site to construct a new embassy. We are now retained as Development Managers for the new Embassy building in the Nine Elms Opportunity Area of London.
Low supply is also a boost in a number of regions such as Europe, while in parts of North America new construction is starting in response to demand. As a result, a wide range of US markets around major cities could perform well this year. The multifamily sector was strong in 2012, led by the USA where sales exceeded that in the office sector. China had a stable year, at least for high end unit sales, while some other parts of Asia notably Hong Kong and Singapore were hit by policy measures aimed at slowing the market. Much of Europe was also subdued, held back by fragile demand and weak prices, but many locations in Germany as well as London witnessed robust conditions.
Hotel investment demand is good, with volumes boosted by activity in the Americas where finance availability is improved and opportunities exist via asset or loan purchases. Asia and Europe where held back by stock and finance shortages.
Retail investment demand has also been generally good but activity has been held back by stock shortages in many areas

Investment Targets
The top countries for investment were little changed from last year: eight of the top 20 are now in Asia, compared with 10 in Europe and two in the Americas. China remained the largest global investment market overall thanks to the surge in land sales seen in late 2012. Nevertheless, the US began to close the gap, with investment rising to 88% of the Chinese level compared with 75% in 2011. Similarly Germany is closing in on the UK in third place, rising from 66% of UK investment levels in 2011 to 81% last year. Concerning investment by city, New York remained the number one target last year, attracting US$41.3 bn into real estate, a 14.4% increase on 2011. London remained firmly in second place, up 8%, while Los Angeles, Tokyo and San Francisco rounded out the top five. Among cross-border investors, however, London is very much top, with Paris second, New York third, Tokyo fourth and Sydney fifth. By sector, New York is the top global market for multifamily and hotels, while London is first for offices, Hong Kong for retail, LA for industrial and Shanghai for development land. The concentration of investment in the top cities once again increased slightly in 2012 as investors remained focused on the biggest and the best markets. In total, 43.7% of all investment was targeted at the top 50 cities, up marginally from 43% in 2011. Whats more, the targeted cities were largely unchanged over the year, with 45 of the top 50 remaining the same. Three of the new names on the top 50 list are US cities, indicating that US players have started to spread their net more widely in search of opportunities. Overall, 25 of the top 50 cities are North American, up from 22 in 2011; 12 are in Asia, up from 11 in 2011; and finally, the EMEA quota dropped from 17 to 13, with stressed European targets such as Madrid and Milan dropping out.

ASIA PACIFIC
Overall investment in the Asia-Pacific region came to US$437.6 bn in 2012, an increase of 3.7% over 2011. Foreign investment accounted for 10.9% of the total, compared with 12.4% in 2011. Development sites represented the majority of investment at 72.7%, with offices the most invested sector for completed stock at 11.5% of the total. However retail, hospitality and development sites all saw investment rise last year while offices, industrial and multifamily all experienced falls. Courtesy of its dominance in the land sales sector, China is the key regional market, accounting for 69.5% of 2012 Asian activity. Japan is the second largest market at 7.9% of the total. Although Asia Pacifics regional economy may have outperformed others, momentum slowed in the second half of the year. Additionally, risk aversion among investors was heightened on theback of persisting global uncertainty, and combined with tighter policies aimed largely at the residential market, this held back investment for much of the year. However as in other areas, the market ended the year on a high, withvolumes up in a range of locations including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India and Australia.
Weaker activity in previous months did not have much impact on yields, with rental stability in core markets generally helping to support capital pricing. Although there were contractions in rental values in some locations such as Singapores office sector primarily due to a retrenchment of global banks the overall trend proved quite robust. The market in 2012 was nonetheless increasingly diverse by location and sector, with retail generally stronger than offices. Further, there were signs of a rebalancing in economic activity towards domestic demand over investment and export-led growth, suggesting that this trend may continue so long as labour market strength supports consumer confidence. International retailer demand is increasing, favouring key Chinese cities, most notably Beijing as well as Shanghai, but also regional capitals in emerging countries, such as Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. Office markets did weaken more by the year-end as slower economic growth hit occupier demand. Nevertheless, confidence is anticipated to return as the economy starts to find its feet, and rents should bottom out in the months ahead on the back of tighter supply markets helping to stimulate growth. Strong demand from IT the sector, including other IT-enabled services (ITeS), as well as business process outsourcing (BPO) will benefit markets in India and the Philippines in particular, while good logistics demand is expected in a range of areas.

As in many areas, while debt markets have been impacted by regulatory changes, they have nonetheless grown more competitive, with margins edging down and LTVs stable at circa 50-60% on non-development stock. Indeed, while this is a less debt reliant region overall, gaps left in the market left by the withdrawal of some European lenders were quickly filled by regional players Risks will of course remain, including some areas witnessing territorial disputes, but a relaxed monetary environment will continue to boost Asian property markets in 2013. Yields are close to record lows in certain locations, but further compression may be seen given that spreads to bonds are still at a relative historic high. However, moderate growth is expected to be the new norm for both the economy and the real estate market.

Core markets have been and will remain most in demand, focusing on retail in major German cities as well as London and Paris, plus offices in cities like Munich and London. But while prime yields are still attractive on an absolute and relative basis for some, there is also increasing recognition that parts of secondary or second tier markets may be of interest. Indeed, opportunistic players are circling lower and lower, although debt is a preferred entry route for some at present. In the Middle East and Africa, confidence improved in some areas despite obvious setbacks elsewhere, partly in areas like UAE which benefit due to relative stability as well as increased tourism, but also in areas like Egypt as investors consider longer term reconstruction and growth.

LATIN AMERICA
Global woes were clearly impacting on sentiment and activity in Latin America last year, with volumes down 51% to US$5.4 bn, driven by weaker foreign and domestic demand. Foreign buying fell slightly less than domestic activity however (46% vs 53%), resulting in a slight rise in foreign buyers market share to 27.9% from 25.2% in 2011. Geographically, Mexico was the only major exception to this, with volumes rising 80% to their highest since the market peak in 2007. Across the region, offices also bucked the trend, witnessing 52% growth and taking a 39% market share compared to just 12.5% last year. Retail was down 52% but its market share was at least stable at around 31% (considerably ahead of the previous five years average, underlining investors long-term interest in this segment). Logistics and multifamily both lost ground to offices while hospitality saw its market share climb to 15% (from 7.8% in 2011) even though the actual volume invested declined. Mexicos growth story in 2012 was helped by a firming economy as well as high regional yields and a better availability of affordable finance, but also by increased domestic pension fund demand as they enter the real estate market. Labour market and education reforms will be a further boost to economic and market performance in the future. Figure 9 Latin America Property Investment Volumes

Brazil meanwhile was relatively quiet over the year as a whole but did end 2012 on a stronger note and macro economics are supportive of the market, with retailer like for like store sales rising strongly and vacancy rates generally low. While the region has slowed in response to global and some local concerns, it has not collapsed in the way it might have done in previous cycles, with volume picking up by the year-end. What is more the macro stability of most of these markets is much improved and it is their links to the international economy, in terms of US and global resource demand in particular, which has dictated much of the easing in demand last year but which will also help underpin a more robust picture in the year to come alongside reviving domestic consumption. This will feed into an expanding property investment market led by a growing stock of modern stock due to new development as well as greater public and institutional demand and more foreign interest. The main cities of Mexico and Brazil are seeing demand for new high quality space in all sectors and development is increasing as a result, with new office completions rising in most major cities but vacancy still often trending down. Foreign investment is also boosting construction in the industrial and logistics sector, particularly in Mexico. With consumer confidence remaining quite robust, the retail sector remains very active across the region, with incoming and growing domestic retailers faced with a shortage of modern supply despite high levels of new shopping centre development in many areas. In the residential sector, population growth, urbanisation, increased wealth and access to mortgage finance (albeit down on previous years) will continue to boost demand for housing while public policies in most countries will also promote more activity, particularly for low-income housing.

As bidding for best in class assets became ever more competitive early last year and yields hardened to pre-recession lows in some cases, investors began moving up the risk curve. Thus, while capital markets remain focused on quality, there has been a slow drift away from blue chip gateway cities towards top assets with durable near-term cash flows in secondary locations, supported by the more plentiful supply of financing and the return of the CMBS market. The improvement in the market has, however, become increasingly unequal, with for example shopping malls and industrial picking up as improvements in earlier recovery sectors namely multifamily and offices slowed down. It was also unequal across the year, with tenant demand rising in early 2012 but faltering later in the year as uncertainty mounted. Credit availability is considerably improved, helped by receding delinquencies. Life insurance companies are very active in providing new debt, as are some US banks. A rising CMBS market is also buoying availability, with a 50% increase in originations last year. Corporate raising has also been popular for the REITs given the low level of interest rates. Looking towards 2013, slow growth is forecast with fiscal cliff cutbacks deterring stronger activity until the second half of the year. Consumer spending and overall expansion should then accelerate into 2014, given improving private sector job growth. Against this backdrop, real estate investors are becoming more aggressive, with stronger debt and equity flowing into the sector in 2013 as the US registers better growth and pricing than other mature Western markets. However, financing remains challenging for mega transactions over US$500 mn.

Multifamily is the sector in highest demand, resulting in increasing construction activity. Office investors are widening their target markets to consider prime assets in an expanding list of secondary markets. On the other hand, the retail and industrial markets are experiencing cap rate compression, and thus industrial yields for these remain above those in other sectors. With yields flattening in the multifamily and prime office sectors while compressing in secondary markets, the prime-secondary spread has peaked and will narrow in the months ahead. The principal buyers in 2013 will be REITs, institutional and foreign investors, particularly from Canada, the Middle East and Asia. REITs and institutions will also be represented on the sell-side as they rebalance their portfolios. Owners who bought at peak values with impending debt maturities will be looking for recapitalizations. Market fundamentals are strongest for multifamily and prime office in gateway markets, followed by prime retail and industrial in California. Secondary office markets remain oversupplied. Particular hotspots include technology sector submarkets in San Francisco, New York and Boston, as well as the commodity-driven markets in Houston and Denver. However, these markets are so heterogeneous that any averages are masking very divergent performances between the have and have not markets, with the latter trading at historically high spreads to the primary markets.

In the USA, RCAs latest estimate is that volumes rose to US$250 bn excluding development sites. Although the multifamily market remained particularly strong, the retail market managed to outperform other sectors through healthy investment demand and activity levels in certain key segments. Top gateway cities have been in high demand, all helped by the burgeoning tourist market benefiting from the weaker dollar. As the US office markets continue to be driven by technology, healthcare and energy sectors, those reliant on finance or government sectors are increasingly seeing more restrained demand.

also changing due to technology, infrastructure adjustments and social pressures. Smart manufacturing and robots will also lead to long-term shifts in manufacturing and logistics concerning the scale and location of facilities, as well as their design and role and thus value in the business cycle. particular as Solvency II, Basel III and the EUs Alternative Investment fund management directive impact on the level and style of market demand. At the same time, mobile working and e-tailing are having a more significant affect on retail and office working styles, while energy costs are the primary drivers of sustainability issues for now, although resource shortages including water are long-term threats. stock is not fit for purpose in a changing world, which poses threats as well as redevelopment and repositioning opportunities. Equally the role of property in delivering value is also changing note the increased importance of retail property as part of the marketing and brand, for example. advancements will increasingly drive business change, generating winning companies and sectors but also new ways in which property is used and occupied.
MACRO POSITION
While the outlook remains uncertain, the chances of a disorderly euro zone default appear to have faded, and consequently a muddle through now seems more likely. Global risks remain of course, including the US fiscal cliff, emerging market demand and uncertainty in the Middle East. Moreover, it is clear that recession risks will continue in some markets with occasional scares and political tension. However, while the economic recovery may remain ponderous, it does at least look set to have more momentum and thus should throw off more confidence to corporates and investors. As a result, so long as business decision making does restart, this low growth environment will not necessarily penalise tenanted property; rather, its yield premium to bonds will remain attractive, and it will offer some upside as and when economic growth does strengthen. When the market does normalise of course, bond rates will increase, and this will impact on property, albeit perhaps not immediately given the buffer in property yields relative to bonds. What is more, stimulus measures (relaxed monetary policy and QE) will continue to boost demand and confidence, as well as impact on investment and development in some areas. Possibly the two key themes for the coming year will therefore be increased macro stabilisation together with abundant liquidity. However, perhaps the deciding theme for the year overall will be an improvement in the business cycle, which should be more marked by year end.
A number of other possible macro trends may also be worth following: Currency wars look likely to continue at a low level, but also an increasing focus may emerge on new currency areas, higher yielding currencies or ones more likely to retain value over time such as the Chinese Renminbi, Singapore Dollar, Korean Won or Mexican Peso. expansion, accessing stock, increasing market power or cutting costs. This will lead to asset opportunities as well as occupational portfolio restructuring. More capital raisings are also likely as REITs and other companies take advantage of market conditions to raise capital.

The USA should be a favoured market in 2013 despite ongoing political and fiscal uncertainties. Occupational demand may still only be in the foothills of a recovery, but an improving economy and debt market, low vacancy and high liquidity auger well for investment demand and market performance. As a result, a 15-20% increase in investment activity is forecast, alongside modest cap rate contraction, both led by the best second-tier markets and a steady normalisation in occupational markets and hence some rental growth. While yields are likely to flatten out for already low cap rate markets, there will be further compression in the higher cap rate markets, such as suburban offices and industrial areas, as debt availability is boosted by an upturn in CMBS issuance. Canada also looks set for stronger activity in 2013 based on capital raised and unspent institutional allocations. Supply shortages and solid demand will generate further rental growth, driven by offices at least until development completions increase in 2014, while pent up demand for quality assets is likely to force further yield compression. Latin America has high levels of capital raised in 2012 to feed into direct property this year. As a result, and a roughly 15% rise in volumes is forecast, with Mexico perhaps the star performer. Brazil will however see plenty of the spotlight, with its secondary markets, industrial and event-driven infrastructure (the port region in Rio and Olympic and Soccer World Cup linked areas) providing most growth. Performance in the region will largely come from increasing occupancy and new development following recent rental increases that have left some markets looking expensive. Rental expansion is
therefore expected to slow to around 5%, but yield compression will add to capital performance. In Asia Pacific, improved macroeconomic conditions with sustainable growth across the region will boost activity and performance. Export performance will grow, helped by infrastructure investment, policy alignment and fiscal and monetary stimulus, and this will aid both employment and consumption growth. This will benefit market values in general, with yields compressing and modest rental growth. Yield spreads will draw more capital into the market, particularly in cities such as Sydney, Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur where the spread is higher. However while modest compression is forecast in some areas this year, notably retail, yields will also be vulnerable once bond yields start to rise given the income sensitivity of many Asian buyers. Investment demand will increase as faith grows in Chinas soft landing, but demand will also broaden. Indeed, other markets such as Australia and Japan will increasingly become targets for overseas investors, while markets such as India and Indonesia are likely to be on the rise. Long-term trends such as urbanisation and the increasing middle class will add to demand to access a range of sectors including residential, especially in Chinese cities as well as higher growth markets as Indonesia and Vietnam. European market trends will be yet more polarised: the world will not end but European property markets will be bouncing along the bottom for some time. The second half of the year will be an improvement, however, as a slow increase in activity occurs on the back of business and investor need or their ability to act on decisions. Availability will rise as occupiers downsize, consolidate and look to save costs, shedding weaker space and pushing up secondary voids. However, while secondary rents will remain weak, prime values should either be stable or be moderately up due to better tenant demand and limited supply in many areas. At the same time, European prime yields will come under modest downward pressure as buying demand remains focused on the best. Interest in secondary markets is likely to steadily grow, although with finance still limited for this market, yields are likely to remain elevated. European investment activity is likely to remain subdued in the short term by the lack of quality product and affordable financing. However, signs indicate that, with more stock released by the banks combined with public sector and corporate owners, this should be a source of greater activity in 2013, with a modest rise of 5% currently forecast.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The property market is being forced to reinvent itself, particularly in more mature markets, and while largely profitable and frequently with cash piles to spend, businesses are focusing ever more on the bottom line and property has to be part of that, contributing to a firms drive for efficiency, productivity gains and cost savings. In many cases this translates into a desire to occupy less space but frequently also a desire to occupy different space. As a result, even with slower net growth in most global regions, there is demand for new modern space in the most business friendly and sustainable locations. This is both a threat and an opportunity for property investors as well as developers depending on the sort of stock they hold and the intensity of their management. The office market may see similar trends to last year in terms of steady if selective growth and a more stable performance from high-growth markets. Banks may continue to hand back space in many areas, but confidence should still be improving as the year progresses. However, while the office cycle is promising in many areas, investors must be alert to falling aggregate demand due to new working practices, rising competitions, a search for greater productivity and changing technology. Increased corporate exploitation of social media will accelerate these changes in the medium term. Figure 11 Global PROPERTY Investment by Region

We will see a very polarised landscape in terms of risk and performance, distinguished by country, city and sector but not necessarily as many may expect. Indeed, views on risk and what is secondary are likely to change as investor yield demand grows and as cost-sensitive occupier interest increases. The performance outlook is perhaps most positive for North America but it is also good in a range of emerging markets. Retail for example may be most promising in the USA and Germany as well as China and Brazil. Offices look set to deliver better performance in parts of the US, UK and Japan but also in parts of China such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou, India (New Delhi and Mumbai), Russia and Turkey. Looking at areas of opportunity by region and country, US markets will be key beneficiaries of the firming business cycle and improved risk appetite as well as easy monetary policy, favouring commercial as well as multifamily. The USA should therefore be a strong target for investment in the near term, although investors may have to get used to moving up the risk curve or paying higher prices, possibly through buying vacancies, looking at development or moving further into secondary markets. Such a move along the risk curve may be slow to emerge in the retail market, where the possibility of tax increases could hit trading, and uncertainty will keep investors focused on the best space for now. In the second half of the year, however, assuming fiscal conditions are clearer, a move towards second tier and mid-market assets may be seen, following the more entrepreneurial and opportunistic players who are already looking at this space. Industrial and warehousing markets are attracting capital thanks to their typically higher yields but they also offer growth potential when proximate to key ports, airports, gateway cities as global trade levels improve. It is also a sector which in the right areas and configuration can benefit from the growth in ecommerce. Medium-to-long-term economic drivers remain favourable for the multifamily market, although the upside is in most cases fully priced and short-term headwinds to jobs growth are also less favourable. As a result, investors need to be keenly aware of construction activity and focus on markets with least supply threat. In Canada, development will remain an attractive route into the market in 2013, with a focus on under supplied office, multifamily and logistics markets as well as on expanding regional shopping centres and converting older industrial space, typically to retail.

Foreign demand in Latin America may be slower to pick-up than in Asian emerging markets but will steadily take hold. Brazil, Mexico and Chile will remain the key focus of interest for investors although interest in other markets is growing, with Colombia the current favourite for many and Peru an upcoming target. Argentina should continue to disappoint and will remain a non-real estate target in the year. Elsewhere, Central America as a whole is too small, but Panama should present a few opportunities, and the Caribbean should see a small surge in hospitality as the US economy picks up. In the Asian markets there are clear opportunities in all sectors. In the office market, global banks will follow the regional banks in their expansion plans which will fuel office demand in the major gateway markets of Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney. This sector will demonstrate positive steady growth rather than the spikes seen previously in markets such as Hong Kong and Singapore.
