CRE Recovery to Accelerate in 2014 (by JLL)

Commercial Real Estate Recovery to Accelerate in 2014
Hello. I will provide a clean and straightforward summary of the report outlining the 2014 commercial real estate market trends.
The core message of this report is that the commercial real estate recovery is gaining significant momentum. Global investment volumes are expected to show a solid 10 percent growth next year. While the leasing market has been somewhat cautious compared to the investment boom, this imbalance is smoothly narrowing, with the United States market leading the way.
Moving past a stagnant 2013, the leasing market is looking forward to a pleasant growth of 5 to 10 percent in 2014. The flow of the United States office market is exceptionally good. As demand expands beyond the tech and energy sectors into various fields, and new supply continues to shrink, prime downtown areas are creating highly favorable conditions for landlords.
The influence of the Millennial generation is also worth noticing. Their strong preference for urban environments with convenient transportation and abundant entertainment is reshaping the real estate landscape. Naturally, because companies are utilizing office spaces much more efficiently than before, the overall speed of space expansion might feel rather steady and calm.
Nevertheless, office rents are steadily projected to rise by about 5.5 percent. The report summarizes that as job numbers grow and the housing market revives, the commercial real estate market will continue to enjoy a diverse and stable recovery.

안녕하세요. 2014년 상업용 부동산 시장의 흐름을 읽어주는 Jones Lang LaSalle(JLL)의 보고서가 나왔습니다.
이 보고서의 핵심은 상업용 부동산 시장의 회복에 한층 속도가 붙는다는 것입니다. 내년 글로벌 투자 규모가 10퍼센트가량 튼튼하게 성장할 것으로 내다보고 있습니다. 그동안 투자 열기에 비해 임대 시장이 다소 조심스러운 모습을 보였지만 미국 시장을 선두로 이러한 불균형이 매끄럽게 줄어들고 있습니다.
임대 시장의 경우 정체되었던 2013년을 지나 2014년에는 5에서 10퍼센트 수준의 기분 좋은 성장을 맞이할 것으로 기대합니다. 특히 미국 오피스 시장의 흐름이 매우 좋습니다. 기술과 에너지 산업에 국한되었던 수요가 다양한 분야로 넓어지고 신규 공급마저 줄어들면서 주요 도심 지역은 임대인에게 매우 유리한 환경이 만들어지고 있습니다.
밀레니얼 세대의 영향력도 눈여겨볼 만합니다. 교통이 편리하고 즐길 거리가 많은 도심형 환경을 선호하는 이들의 성향이 부동산 시장의 지형을 새롭게 바꾸고 있습니다. 물론 기업들이 사무 공간을 과거보다 훨씬 효율적으로 사용하고 있어 전체적인 임대 면적 증가 속도는 차분하게 느껴질 수 있습니다.
하지만 오피스 임대료는 5점5퍼센트가량 꾸준히 오를 것으로 전망합니다. 전반적으로 일자리가 늘어나고 주택 시장이 살아나면서 상업용 부동산 시장 역시 다양하고 안정적인 회복세를 이어갈 것이라고 보고 있습니다.

Amid Low Returns From Bonds, Sovereign Wealth Funds Move Aggressively Into Real Estate

By PETER EVANS

At the start of 2010, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund had no property investments to speak of.

Three years later, Norway's Government Pension Fund Global, which manages the oil-rich nation's wealth through Norges Bank Investment Management, has committed around $6.7 billion to property. The investments are mainly focused on prime office and retail space in major European capitals, and Norges Bank has said it plans to spend billions more over the next decade.

The U.S. economy is poised for another year of muddling through.

Most private economists forecast a modest 2% growth rate for the U.S. in 2012, with a pace subdued by housing woes, a lackluster job market, and cuts by government. Economists also warn of potential spillover from weakness abroad, including a mild recession apparently under way in Europe.
