Taipei, Nanjing join cities emerging as property hotbeds

They are noted for their improved quality of life, innovation, and sustainability.

Cities like Taipei, Nanjing, Mumbai, and Kuala Lumpur are luring more real estate investors due to their quality of life, innovation and sustainability, according to a JLL news release.

This is in line with its latest research which revealed that investors and occupiers are now more interested in a city’s overall competitiveness than its economic fundamentals.

Other “emerging” cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Bangkok and Delhi continue to attract high level of domestic demand and international trade and capital, according to Stuart Crow, CEO of Capital Markets for JLL Asia Pacific.

In fact, Guangzhou and Shenzhen alone gained a total of $2.2b (US$1.6b) in foreign real estate investments over the last three years.

Meanwhile, “established” cities such as Singapore, Tokyo and Seoul attracted a total of $90.3b (US$65.3b) also in investment capital over the same period.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
