Foreign media: Chinese companies are accelerating overseas real estate investments, focusing on new energy industrial facilities, cross-border e-commerce logistics centers, and smart city projects. As traditional residential development slows down, industrial real estate, logistics real estate, and commercial complexes have become new investment hotspots.
According to a report from the London real estate consulting firm Knight Frank, it is expected that overseas investments by Chinese companies in these areas will grow by 15% year-on-year in 2026.
Smart city projects are particularly favored by Chinese companies, especially future city projects in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi. In addition, commercial and industrial real estate in Africa, such as Nairobi in Kenya and Lagos in Nigeria, as well as logistics and warehouse properties in Latin America, such as Monterrey in Mexico and Bogotá in Colombia, have also become popular investment destinations.
The managing director of Knight Frank's China division said that Chinese companies' overseas expansion is reshaping the real estate industry's landscape, covering a diversification of investment areas, target regions, and business models.
