Among various asset classes within the real estate market, the office segment has seen a remarkable surge in investments, attracting USD 616.3 million during the third quarter of this year. This marks a substantial increase from USD 79.1 million in the same period last year. Colliers' data indicates that Chennai and Mumbai accounted for around 57% of the total inflows during Q3 2024, driven by significant acquisitions in the office sector.
The residential segment has also witnessed a notable rise in demand following the Covid-19 pandemic. Investments in this sector increased by 40% to USD 384.8 million, up from USD 274.6 million in the previous year. This uptick can be attributed to the shift in buyer preferences towards premium properties and the need for larger, more comfortable living spaces.
Conversely, the industrial and warehousing sector experienced a decline of 72% in fund inflows, dropping to USD 95.2 million from USD 340.3 million. This decrease can be linked to market adjustments and the reallocation of capital to more promising segments. Investments in mixed-use projects, however, nearly doubled, reaching USD 52.4 million from USD 27.2 million.
Alternative assets, including data centres, life sciences, senior housing, holiday homes, student housing, and schools, did not receive any funding during the July to September period, in contrast to USD 72.2 million in the same timeframe last year. This highlights a shift in investor focus towards more traditional and immediate opportunities.
Domestic investments remained robust at USD 0.5 billion, representing 44% of the total inflows during the July to September quarter. Piyush Gupta, Managing Director of Capital Markets and Investment Services at Colliers India, noted that institutional flows in Indian real estate have remained consistent, reflecting sustained investor confidence. He added that investors are well-diversified between global and domestic capital, with office assets continuing to be a primary focus. However, industrial, warehousing, and residential segments are also gaining significant momentum.
The significant growth in institutional investments in Indian real estate underscores a robust market dynamic, particularly in the office and residential segments. Despite challenges in the industrial and warehousing sectors, the overall positive trend highlights strong investor confidence. The data from Colliers underscores the increasing diversification of capital sources and the sustained interest in premium assets. As the market continues to evolve, it remains crucial for stakeholders to adapt to emerging opportunities, ensuring they capitalize on the momentum generated by shifting demand patterns in the post-pandemic landscape.
