European commercial real estate investment reached EUR39.2bn in Q3 2014. This took rolling annual volumes to EUR 168bn, a 24% increase on the same period a year ago.
Spain and Italy recorded the strongest growth, with the UK and Germany leading the major markets.
Non-European investment over the past twelve months reached a new record share of 29% of total activity. We now see a broader range of investors active in the market, strongly driven by net flows from Asia Pacific.
