Real Estate
Sector performance
In 2023, real estate investors grappled with declining
values and increased borrowing costs driven by
persistent inflation and high interest rates. While
overall deal volumes decreased, equity buyers propped
up the real estate market as they benefited from
discounted values.
Residential, logistics, data centers, and life sciencesrelated facilities remained strong performing asset
classes. Investment activity increased in retail and
office with a particular focus on quality energyefficient assets. The adoption of AI tools also increased
in order to enhance efficiencies across the sector.
