In 20 16, the domestic retail property investment market was quite active, and large-scale transactions occurred frequently. What is the main reason behind this?

Jones Lang LaSalle said: Overall, the investment market is very active this year. Judging from the transaction volume, this year is expected to be the same as last year, or even a new high.

However, as far as the retail property investment market is concerned, the trend this year is that most investors have the ability to manage their own retail assets, and their internal teams have the ability to manage shopping centers and exit the future capital market. Therefore, investors generally have confidence in the domestic retail market, and the sense of crisis brought by e-commerce has also eased. Many investors and retail real estate operators have gradually adapted to the fierce competition brought by e-commerce, and they are introducing more lifestyles and the concept of one-stop family shopping into shopping malls. This makes them more confident in the management and future of retail property, which is also the reason why retail property investment will increase greatly this year.
