Our 2026 Megatrend Resilience Index for commercial real estate addresses a key challenge for long-term investment strategies – understanding how secular forces interact and which markets are best placed?

Megatrends can conflict in real-world situations, sometimes leaving investors exposed. Mediterranean coastal hotel markets are a prime example: population and income growth in key visitor source markets have long supported strong demand but intense summer heat is starting to shift demand away from the peak-season towards shoulder seasons and cooler European alternatives, while the greater risk of extreme weather events threaten future insurability.

Our index ranks 91 major global real estate cities in 33 countries across four megatrends: demographics, technology, geopolitics, and climate. Each megatrend is driven by six to 10 indicators, which aim to encapsulate the relative resilience of each city across five core property sectors. Join this webinar to hear from our global real estate team about the latest rankings and the long-run forces shaping real estate markets in your region.
