The Philippine hotel sector maintained an 81.8% occupancy rate in Q1 2026 with average room rates declining marginally to PHP 8,034 per night, while foreign tourist arrivals reached 1.8 million in the quarter, up nearly 9% year-on-year. Rising jet fuel costs and airline route suspensions pose headwinds, but the sector's fundamentals remain supported by sustained corporate demand, resilient luxury segment performance at 86% occupancy, and government efforts to boost domestic tourism and target international markets including China, Korea, and India.

JLL's analysis examines Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) potential in Vietnam's major urban centres of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, identifying fundamental elements including higher density cores, growing public transportation networks, and land availability along transit corridors. The document reports that properties in TOD catchment areas along HCMC's Metro Line No. 1 achieved 34% price growth over five years and emphasizes that successful TOD requires integrated coordination among government, developers, operators, and communities, with strategic focus on experiential connectivity rather than physical proximity to stations.

This is a market report published by CBRE in December 2025 covering the data center sector in Northern Virginia as part of a broader analysis of North American data center trends in the second half of 2025. The report addresses the regional market within the context of national trends and includes geography tags for Northern Virginia, Virginia, the Washington-DC area, and Asia-Pacific.
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.

Every couple of decades, something comes along that turns investors’ heads. In Australia right now that thing is data. And more precisely data centres. On the east coast, especially in New South Wales, commercial construction has suddenly got a jolt and its all thanks to the very new, very modern, asset class.…
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.
JLL analyzed 20 years of risk-return data across Auckland and Christchurch commercial property sectors, finding that prime industrial assets and large-format retail in Auckland occupy core or core-plus quadrants while secondary office and traditional retail face value-add challenges. The analysis concludes that geography matters as much as sector selection, with the same asset class exhibiting different risk profiles between cities—for example, Christchurch's industrial market shows lower volatility across all grades compared to Auckland, while retail performance diverges significantly between the two markets.

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.
