APAC Investment Atlas

Welcome to the inaugural APAC Investment Atlas, your strategic guide to commercial real estate investment across Asia Pacific.

Welcome to the inaugural APAC Investment Atlas, your strategic guide to commercial real estate investment across Asia Pacific. This report leverages Cushman & Wakefield’s proprietary TIME Score and Fair Value Index (FVI) to provide clarity on market cycles, pricing, and sector trends—empowering investors to make confident, data-driven decisions.

Market Overview: Resilience Amid Transition

Investor sentiment has improved, supported by recent rate cuts in several markets and liquid debt conditions. The near-term outlook remains mixed amid volatility, but activity and deal sizes have been rising.

TIME Score: Pinpointing the Cycle

The TIME Score (Timing the Investment Market Entry/Exit) is a forward-looking measure that helps investors identify where each market sits in the property cycle. With APAC’s all-property TIME Score trending upwards (currently 3.1), many markets are moving past stabilisation and into early growth phases. This signals a compelling window for strategic investment key markets including Australia, Singapore, and Japan.

The TIME Score distils multiple indicators into a single metric that reflects cycle stage (from downturn through inflection to recovery). It provides a practical framework to time market entry and exit across geographies and sectors.

Fair Value Index: Where Value Meets Strategy

The Fair Value Index (FVI) assesses the relative attractiveness of current pricing in prime office, retail, and industrial markets against long-term expected returns and risk-adjusted benchmarks. Across APAC, most tracked office and industrial markets are underpriced, offering attractive entry points. The APAC FVI stood at 62.5 in Q3 2025, up from 60.4 in Q1, with 46% of tracked markets underpriced and 63% of logistics & industrial markets underpriced. Australia’s logistics & industrial, Singapore’s prime office, and select retail assets stand out for relative value and forward growth prospects. 

The FVI compares current market pricing with modelled fair value to indicate where pricing dislocation creates opportunity. Higher FVI scores signal broader under-pricing (more compelling value), while lower scores indicates that more markets are fully priced.  

Strategic Themes

  • Core & Core-Plus: Prime CBD offices in low-vacancy markets; modern logistics facilities in supply-constrained nodes.
  • Value-Add: Reposition office stock with low ESG credentials; infill and upgrade in logistics; retail assets with positive rental reversions.
  • Sector Sweet Spot: Logistics & Industrial continues to outperform on structural demand and constrained supply; selected repricing opportunities in office and retail assets.
  • Cross-Border Capital: Growing interest from global investors into Asia Pacific, with increasing focus on platform-building in data centres, living, self-storage, and life sciences.
