In an increasingly divergent market, a combination of lower new supply and pricing that remains below replacement cost has created an attractive cyclical entry point for investors. At the same time, powerful secular forces, including AI, deglobalization, demographic change and rising energy demand, are reshaping the investment landscape and creating distinct winners and losers across regions, sectors and asset types.

Our 2026 Mid-Year Outlook examines how these structural trends are transforming real estate markets globally and highlights the sectors and regions where we see the most compelling investment opportunities today.
