Webinar 2: Capital Markets
April 12, 2017 – by Colliers International
Asia Property Capital Flows: Shifting from Asia-to-Global to Asia-to-Asia?
This month’s thought leadership webinar will focus on Capital Markets. Chinese investment in property in other regions in recent years has been heavily focused on the US. This push to the US has obscured rising intra-Asian property capital flows, which again exceed Asia-to-global flows. Despite firm near-term US economic prospects, we expect slower RMB depreciation and political pressures to cause Chinese investment to shift towards Asian markets from 2017. The continued weight of capital should offset likely rising cost of funds, so that property yields on average stay flat across Asia this year. We remain positive about Asian property, and see particular investment opportunities in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and India.

Planning and Design – The creation of an innovative vertical retail hub in Hong Kong
What makes a commercial development standout in the high-density city of Hong Kong? Henderson Land will present the story of creating an award-winning art & creative hub coupled with retail, wine-and-dine facilities in the heart of Central, called H-CODE. Working with the Hong Kong Government and neighboring land owners, this hidden jewel challenges traditional boundaries of commercial exposures while improving street level connections and pedestrian experiences. H-CODE developed a pioneering patented facade design that provides restaurant goers with multiple choices of dining experience. An idea inspired by the Japanese Ginza style paradigm but one step further. This webinar will give insights on how Henderson Land transforms a strategic location through building mass placement, civic space planning and facade technologies into unprecedented commercial opportunities.
