The Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) 2014 Survey results released Sept. 4 point to strong improvement in the sustainability performance of the global real estate industry as a whole, according to GRESB.
The survey looked at data from listed property companies and private equity real estate funds around the world. In total, the respondents’ portfolios cover 56,000 buildings with an aggregate value of $ 2.1 trillion.
Faced with high prices for top-quality properties in primary markets, commercial real estate executives are looking to mid-tier assets and secondary markets to generate higher yields, according to a survey conducted by KPMG LLP.
Investors expect positive trends to continue in the commercial real estate industry for the rest of 2014 despite anticipating rising interest rates, according to consulting firm PwC.
A PwC survey of real estate investors in the second quarter of 2014 noted that respondents expressed confidence that the industry would handle anticipated increases in interest rates without serious disruption to its recovery.
At the same time, competition among buyers is likely to remain strong and keep prices for the best properties elevated, the PwC survey said.
