Sector Performance

In 2025, real estate investors benefited from an easing monetary environment and improving macro stability, which helped support firmer valuations, clearer pricing, and a recovery in activity across several asset classes. Capital deployment increased as liquidity improved, with investors reengaging in highly competitive core sectors such as residential, logistics, and data centers.

Life sciences and hospitality platforms continued to expand, while demand for ESG-compliant, energy-efficient assets strengthened, reflecting a sustained shift toward resilient, future-proofed real estate strategies. This backdrop positioned well-capitalized investors to selectively pursue opportunities as market confidence continued to rebuild.
