Future research opportunities for Asian real estate

Recent years have seen considerable growth in the Asian real estate markets; for both the developed and emerging markets. This has given rise to exciting research opportunities in many areas of Asian real estate; where often these markets have unique real estate characteristics that need to be more fully understood. This has been further supported by the improved quality of real estate information for these Asian markets. This paper will review some of these research opportunities for Asian real estate; these opportunities will cover real estate market dynamics, alternate real estate sectors, REITs, development sites, real estate transparency, real estate in emerging markets, infrastructure, sustainability and the changing nature of work and real estate. The critical research issues in achieving this research agenda are also identified.
