Introduction from René Veerman

In a year of unprecedented challenges, the managed real estate market continued to grow in 2020 to $10.5 trillion, and it currently stands at 1.6 times the 2010 size.

The real estate market’s convincing expansion in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic seems to underscore investors’ resolute search for returns across asset classes.

And yet, investing in this market in a post-pandemic world may require some adjusting. Lockdowns and stay-in-place mandates seem to have crystallized cultural shifts that had been afoot, particularly in retail and office space.

With such a set of challenges ahead, smart investment decisions will matter more than ever. It is our hope that this report – with its consistent and unique data – can provide some valuable insights to help you delve into the market’s evolving trends and aid effective investment decisions.
