Malaysia Real Estate Report 2015 - New Study Released

Malaysia's commercial real estate market benefits from t he country's location in Southe ast Asia, as well as the government's welcoming attitude to foreign investment and the developed and transparent nature of its business environment. The country has a developed real estate investment trust (REIT) market, although there is room for this to expand. However as the wider economy is facing some reduced growth, the country's real estate market is also experiencing only subdued demand, despite strong potentials in the medium-term.

Following a strong 6.0% GDP growth in 2014, the Malaysian economy is facing some headwind as growth is reduced to an estimated 4.2% in 2015. This trend is expected to continue as growth only gradually returns to levels of 4.6% by 2019. Monetary tightening and expected interest rate rises are expected to further impact domestic demand. With exports equating to about 90% of GDP, the economy is also vulnerable to the economic decline in key export destinations, as seen in China. However, in the longer term domestic consumption is set to rise, and as economic links with the rest of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) improve, so too should demand for commercial real estate.

Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital, continues to be the centre for the industrial and service sectors of Malaysia, harbouring the bulk of office and industrial property in the country. Johor Bahru, at the border to Singapore is benefitting from cross-over demand particularly for its lower grad office segment, as well as manufacturing and logistics property. Kota Kinabalu has seen some significant growth in its tertiary sector over the past years, raising demand for office space. Growing urbanization and tourist numbers also boost the city's demand in retail space, with several malls in the pipeline.
