Significant hotel transactions boosted the sector's acquisition volume to JPY 280.0 billion, which is about 2.6 times the volume recorded in the same quarter the previous year and accounted for approximately 40% of the total transaction volume for the quarter. This surge in hotel transactions also contributed to a 49% year-over-year increase in the cumulative transaction volume for the hotel sector in H1 2024.
In contrast, office transactions also saw a notable increase, with a 47% year-over-year rise to JPY 180.0 billion. Conversely, the investment volume for the retail, residential, and logistics sectors declined.
CBRE noted that J-REIT acquisition volume for the quarter (including all transactions below JPY 1 billion) dropped by 22% year-over-year to JPY 169.8 billion. This also marked a significant decline from the January-March quarter, which saw several major J-REIT transactions. Over half of the J-REIT transaction volume this quarter was in the hotel sector.
Despite the TSE REIT Index declining since the beginning of the year, hotel REITs posted positive returns. According to the results of this quarter's CBRE Cap Rate Survey, expected yields for Tokyo prime assets across all sectors either fell or remained unchanged.
