Infographic: Relative Return Index signals improving real estate attractiveness

What you will learn:

• Our latest global relative return index (RRI) signals that risk-adjusted investment opportunities in commercial real estate (CRE) should start to emerge this year before becoming more widespread in 2025.
• We estimate 65% of global real estate markets meet or exceed required return in 2024, with 5-year all property total returns expected to be 5.8%.
• Global sector rankings remain consistent with 2023, with hotels and industrial leading, both are classified as neutral. Industrial is projected to transition to the excess return classification by 2025.
• Asia-Pacific emerges as the most attractive region, led by Japan. North America’s RRI classification stays subpar, while Europe improves, particularly in the industrial and retail sectors.
