The agreement was serviced by Cushman & Wakefield, who states it views the initial CBD commercial real estate deal in China this year. “The deal is just one of the first by an international financier considering that the government started rolling back its tight anti-Covid-19 protocols in December,” says the consultancy in a March 13 news release.

Suning Life Plaza is a 19-storey development with 566,182 sq ft of workplace as well as retail net lettable area. “Complying with the purchase, the fund will renovate a section of the business area for workplace use. While investable properties in Beijing have commonly been hard to find, Suning Life Plaza has actually emerged as a great opportunity for asset improving and enhancement,” says Charli Chan, Cushman & Wakefield’s managerial director of funding markets in China.

“While some foreign funding stays cautious on China financial investments, there are a number of seasoned, persistent investors that view the present economic issues as a window of opportunity to invest in China while they face much less competitors from peers,” includes Catherine Chen, Cushman & Wakefield’s head of funding marketing researches, Greater China.
