Favored Property Types Include Multifamily, Life Science and Industrial, According to Annual Survey

By Mark Heschmeyer CoStar News April 22, 2022 | 12:13 P.M.

Foreign investors were net sellers of U.S. properties in the first quarter of the year as they anticipate another strong year of acquisitions.

Selling in the first quarter of a year is not uncommon for foreign investors, according to CoStar data, and they have been net sellers seven times in that period over the past 14 years.

The selling activity follows record buying activity in the fourth quarter and for all of 2021 combined. Foreign investors participated in $32.3 billion in purchases in the fourth quarter, according to CoStar data, and $73 billion for the year.

Overall, foreign investors have been net buyers every year for the past 14 years going back to the end of the Great Recession. That pattern is expected to continue this year, according to the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate, which just released its annual International Investor Survey.

“We asked investors if they were expecting to be a net buyer or net seller. A majority of them expect to be a net buyer,” Gunnar Branson, CEO of AFIRE, said in an email to CoStar News. “They usually have dispositions in any given year, but this year, new acquisitions are expected to exceed any sales.”

The international investor outlook for U.S. properties remains positive in the midst of an economy slowed by the pandemic, global tension after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, escalating inflation and the Federal Reserve’s plan to fight that inflation by raising bank borrowing rates, according to AFIRE.

About 75% of respondents to the survey said they expect their volume of investment activity and revenue growth to increase over the coming year, and they expect to do so in a big way. Roughly 80% estimated they will be allocating up to $5 billion for U.S. investment in 2022.

This positive outlook is underscored by a majority acceptance — 8 out of 10 — that many cultural fundamentals have been permanently changed by the prolonged pandemic, according to AFIRE.

Shift From Large US Markets

The survey, conducted in February, reveals institutional insight and intent toward future real estate investment, recognizing the altered attitudes toward live-work preferences among U.S. cities coming out of the prolonged pandemic. Investors also indicated a sustained shift away from the largest U.S. markets for planned investment this year.

“We now have a clearer picture on the longer-term impact of the pandemic on real estate investment, with altered cultural attitudes and sustained strength in investment in secondary and tertiary U.S. cities, led by Austin, Atlanta, Boston and Dallas,” Branson said.

Against a ranking of global cities, respondents selected the Texas capital of Austin, Atlanta and Boston as the top three cities for planned global investment in 2022. London is the only non-U.S. city in the top five, followed by New York and Seattle. Last year’s top three were Austin, Boston and Dallas.

Among the preferred property types in the coming year, international investors said they favored increasing investment in multifamily, life sciences and industrial assets. They gave an overall positive outlook for U.S. real estate, according to the survey.

In the first quarter, global investors bought $2.2 billion of U.S. industrial properties and $1.88 billion of multifamily properties, according to CoStar data.

Office property purchases also were prevalent in the first quarter with $2.15 billion in deals. The largest foreign acquisition in the first quarter was South Korea’s Hana Alternative Asset Management teaming with Vision Properties of New Jersey to buy the 431,281-square-foot 70 Hudson St. office building in Jersey City, New Jersey, for $300 million

However, that did not come close to the amount of such properties international investors sold, which was $5.84 billion, according to CoStar data. That was the largest segment by a wide margin. The next largest property types sold were multifamily at $1.92 billion; hospitality at $1.84 billion; and then retail at $1.01 billion.

The largest sale posted in the first quarter was Canada’s Oxford Properties selling to Google St. John’s Terminal, a 1.3 million-square-foot office condominium still under construction at 532-564 Washington St. in New York for $2.1 billion.
