APREA CEO cites Asia Pacific real estate and REIT opportunities
Zialcita said emerging markets like India and parts of Southeast Asia benefit from a positive growth outlook and ongoing urbanization, while China presents a long term opportunity supported by regulatory changes.
Sigrid Zialcita, CEO of the Asia Pacific Real Assets Association (APREA), told Nareit’s REIT Report during Nareit’s REITweek: 2026 Investor Conference in New York that Asia Pacific real estate and REIT opportunities span both developed and emerging markets.
According to Zialcita, emerging markets including India and parts of Southeast Asia still have a positive growth outlook, and that growth is expected to support real estate, with investors able to capitalize on continued urbanization.
She also highlighted developed markets such as Japan, Australia, and Singapore as core allocation choices for global investors.
Meanwhile, Zialcita said China remains a significant long term opportunity, pointing to the country’s willingness to amend regulations to make them more conducive to the growth of REITs, despite the negative publicity the country often receives.
