On February 7, CBRE released the “2023 China Investor Intent Survey”, which analyzes investors' views and strategic preferences on China's commercial real estate bulk trading market in 2023 from six major trends, including investment intentions, popular property types and strategies, investment destinations, alternative assets, and ESG. The survey found that the proportion of respondents who chose “more active investment” and “more active sales” both declined compared to the previous year. At the same time, industrial real estate investment attention was at the top of the list for the third year in a row. It should be pointed out that during this questionnaire survey, the “Ten New Rules” to determine the speedy adjustment and optimization of domestic epidemic prevention policies have not yet been introduced. CBRE predicts that the positive impact of the shift in epidemic prevention policies and the successive implementation of industry support policies such as bailing out the “three arrows” of housing enterprises and promoting the platform economy will effectively boost investor sentiment, and that the activity of the commercial real estate investment market in 2023 will probably outperform the expectations shown in this survey.
