The commercial investment market recorded €1.01 billion in transaction volume, up 62% year-over-year, driven primarily by two major acquisitions by the City of Cologne including the Rossio office building, with mixed-use properties representing the largest asset class at €385 million and public entities accounting for 65% of buyer volume.

Melbourne's CBD office vacancy stood at 19.7% as of Q1 2026, but JLL analysis distinguishes between frictional, entrenched, and structural vacancy, identifying approximately 4.0% of secondary stock as structurally vacant and 6.0% of prime stock as entrenched vacant, suggesting only 9.7% of the headline figure represents genuinely competitive space. The research attributes elevated vacancy primarily to supply-driven factors, with 675,000 square meters of new office space completed between Q1 2020 and Q1 2026 (12.5% of total stock), and identifies building obsolescence as a key driver, with older assets from the 1980s or earlier representing 58.4% of secondary stock and containing 120,500 square meters of structural vacancy concentrated in the Western Core precinct.
Bangkok's property market faces emerging distress in completed, occupied buildings showing persistent vacancy and deferred maintenance, concentrated in 1990s office stock, early-2000s retail formats, and aging condominiums. The market differs from the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis in that buildings are finished and titled, but Thailand's outdated legislative framework lacks mechanisms for repurposing or collective redevelopment, unlike Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, which enable streamlined asset repositioning through supermajority sales or regulatory flexibility.
A JLL research article examines education-driven structural demand for Hong Kong residential property from mainland Chinese families, distinguishing this sustained factor from cyclical investment demand and attributing it to Hong Kong's more accessible university system compared to mainland China's highly competitive Gaokao examination. The article projects that purpose-built student accommodation demand will create a supply gap widening from 76,000 beds in 2025/26 to 147,000 beds by 2029/30, and notes that Top Talent Pass Scheme households purchasing property increased from 5% at admission to 13% at renewal, representing an estimated 2,000–3,000 unit purchases annually.
Singapore shophouses combine heritage preservation with operational flexibility, functioning as urban infrastructure that enables street-level activation through their physical design of narrow frontages, shallow depths, and covered walkways that sustain pedestrian engagement in districts like Joo Chiat Road and Duxton Hill. Since the 2022 peak, the shophouse market has shifted to reward selectivity over momentum, with capital flowing to assets where location strength and tenant composition align, while examples such as 21 Carpenter, The Working Capitol, and Temasek Shophouse demonstrate how conserved shophouses adapt to modern uses including hospitality, coworking, and social-impact programming, offering investors diversification and reduced single-user exposure.
While LEED has dominated US green building certification for over two decades, alternative certifications are rapidly gaining adoption for specific ESG priorities: Fitwel for health and wellness at lower cost, ILFI Zero Carbon for verified net-zero operations, RELi for climate resilience, and BREEAM or ARC for portfolio-level tracking. Market leaders now employ multiple certifications simultaneously rather than relying on LEED alone, reflecting a shift from static design-based ratings toward dynamic operational certifications that deliver measurable ESG results.
South Korea's co-living market has grown substantially since 2023 due to shifting housing preferences among younger demographics and high price-to-income ratios, attracting major foreign investors including GIC, KKR, Morgan Stanley, CPPIB, Hines, Invesco, M&G Real Estate, and TPG Angelo Gordon, with notable deals including ICG's approximately KRW 300 billion co-living fund partnership with Homes Company. Recent regulatory measures introduced in late 2025 restricting tax exemptions and loan-to-value limits to 0% in regulated areas have created policy uncertainty and wait-and-see sentiment among foreign investors, though sector fundamentals are expected to remain strong due to growing long-term overseas visitors and demographic shifts toward single-person households.
Malaysia's residential market shifted toward premium assets in 2025, with transaction value reaching MYR 108 billion despite moderated volumes, particularly pronounced in Kuala Lumpur's prime properties segment. JLL's analysis segments Kuala Lumpur's submarkets by investment profile—KLCC and Bukit Bintang for growth, Bangsar for stable rental yields, and Damansara Heights and Mont Kiara for defensive or balanced positioning—while noting that unsold inventory declined over 66% from its 2021 peak, signaling market entry into a more sustainable equilibrium.
Bangkok's parking costs typically represent 15–25% of total construction costs in developments, and the city's mandatory parking ratios exceed those of Singapore fivefold and Seoul nearly threefold for comparable commercial projects, despite empirical evidence that 90% of condominiums in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region already exceed legal minimums. Bangkok's 2027 comprehensive plan will allow developers to reduce parking requirements by up to 25% for projects near designated rail stations and prioritizes transit-oriented development, but market demand—evidenced by luxury condominiums providing 110% of required parking—may hinder adoption as consumers remain deeply attached to abundant parking provision.
