A new CBRE report shows that Asian outbound investment into global real estate assets set new records in 2015.

Asian outbound real estate investment in 2015 stood at a record $62.4 billion, a year on year increase of 37 percent. Markets with higher returns continue to lure Asian investors.

“While we see dominance of the four major capital sources, namely Singapore, China, Hong Kong and South Korea, there is more activity coming from other parts of Asia, such as Taiwan and Thailand,” said Ada Choi, Senior Director of CBRE Research Asia.

While London remained the top destination, the Americas now attract the largest share, reaching $22.4 billion, a rise of 109%.
