Chinese Outbound Investment Hits New Heights

Chinese outbound capital flow into global real estate set a new record in 2016 with USD33 billion in overseas commercial and residential property investment. This represents an increase of nearly 53 percent year-on-year.

90 percent of all Chinese outbound investment in real estate went into land, offices and hotels over the past three years but 2016 saw significant increases in the hotel and industrial sectors especially in the US, according to a recent JLL’s Global Capital Flows report.

While investment in account for capital in the last three years, the hotel and industrial sectors showed the largest increase in 2016 due to significant transactions in the U.S. in the form of portfolio sales and Chinese appetite for industrial parks.

International land acquisitions by Chinese also rose by 44 percent in 2016 with significant investments in Hong Kong, Australia and Malaysia.
