CBRE Expects Banner Year for Investments in 2022

CBRE predicts a record year for investment in commercial real estate in 2022 due to factors that include the economic and real estate recoveries and major fiscal stimulus projects, according to the company’s 2022 U.S. Real Estate Outlook

GDP is expected to grow by 4.6% next year, and investment volumes are expected to increase 5% to 10%. Further, CBRE sees a resurgence of downtowns. 

“Our outlook for U.S. commercial real estate next year is positive due to a number of tailwinds overriding deterrents such as inflation,” said Richard Barkham, CBRE’s global chief economist and head of Americas research. “COVID-19 flareups still pose a risk, but governments and health authorities appear to have made progress in containment and treatment. We see this rising tide further buoying the capital markets, multifamily and industrial & logistics sector and aiding the burgeoning recoveries of the retail and office sectors.”
