Foreign investment in Australian commercial property at record high

Analysis by CBRE has shown that in the September quarter, foreign investors accounted for 56% of the $8.6 billion worth of Australia’s commercial property sales. This is reportedly the highest percentage of foreign buyers in the 10 years of data that have been tracked.

It is thought that the foreign buyers have increased the total sales in the September quarter 8.5% higher than at the same time last year.

Chinese investors are responsible for the majority of the offshore purchases.  The increases of Chinese capital had been initially driven by private investors and developers. However, major institutional investors are also getting involved in the Australian commercial property market. Chinese investors are focusing on major gateway cities such as Melbourne and Sydney.

Major Australian commercial property acquisitions in the quarter include the Chinese sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation (CIC) paying almost $2.5 billion for a portfolio of office tower assets sold by the Investa Property Group in what is Australia’s largest ever direct office sale.  The owner of the $8.9 billion Investa platform, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing, announced that it has sold the property it owned through Investa.

Singapore’s Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust was another significant investor during the period, having snapped up a portfolio of 26 logistics properties from GIC in a deal valued at $1.01 billion.

The net investment position of offshore investors now totals $24 billion.

Victoria has Australia’s fastest growing population

The post Victoria has Australia’s fastest growing population appeared first on Oak Laurel.

Victoria has Australia’s fastest population growth

The latest data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics has shown that Victoria’s population is growing at the fastest rate in the country.

Victoria had a growth rate of 1.7%, gaining an additional 97,500 citizens in the year to March 2015.  New South Wales and Western Australia has the next highest population growth at 1.4%. See below for the population growth rates of other States and Territories reproduced from ABS data.

 

	Population at end Mar qtr 2015	Change over previous year	Change over previous year
PRELIMINARY DATA	‘000	‘000	%
New South Wales	7 596.6	101.2	1.4
Victoria	5 914.9	97.5	1.7
Queensland	4 766.7	61.1	1.3
South Australia	1 696.2	13.9	0.8
Western Australia	2 587.0	35.3	1.4
Tasmania	516.1	1.5	0.3
Northern Territory	243.8	0.5	0.2
Australian Capital Territory	389.7	4.8	1.3
Australia(a)	23 714.3	316.0	1.4
(a) Includes Other Territories comprising Jervis Bay Territory, Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

 

The majority of population growth occurs in Australia’s capital cities.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics has projected that Melbourne’s population will exceed Sydney’s by 2052 on two of the three scenarios modelled.

Under the “high fertility, overseas migration and life expectancy” scenario, Melbourne’s population would be 9.193 million by the middle of the century and Sydney’s 8.431 million.

Under the “medium fertility, overseas migration and life expectancy” scenario, Melbourne’s population would be 8.162 million, and Sydney’s 8.124 million.

Under the “low fertility, overseas migration and life expectancy” scenario, Melbourne’s population would be 7.353 million and Sydney’s 7.716 million.

Whether or not Melbourne becomes Australia’s largest city by 2052, one thing is clear, all of those people coming to Melbourne are going to need somewhere to live. The demand for housing in Melbourne is going to continue to increase and so are the prices of well located property.
