Hines Sees Global Recovery, Opportunity in 2025
2025 has the potential to be a pivotal turning point for global real estate markets, according to Hines’ 2025 Global Investment Outlook report. Titled “A New Dawn: Seizing Real Estate’s Moment of Opportunity,” the report highlights the key trends and sector-specific strategies Hines sees shaping the global real estate market as it transitions into a new cycle of growth and recovery.
“As we enter 2025, we remain in the midst of a massive transition in the investment landscape,” said David Steinbach, global CIO of Hines. “The dynamics of the previous cycle–where unusually low interest rates propelled growth and easy leverage–have faded and are being replaced by a higher-for-longer interest rate environment where investors will need to focus on alpha generation.
“We will likely look back on 2025 as a pivotal moment of recovery in many areas of the commercial real estate sector–now is the time for investors to put capital to work and reposition their portfolios,” he continued. According to Hines’ analysis, as of the third quarter of 2024, slightly more than 66% of global markets were in some phase of the Buy cycle, the highest level since 2016.
