Fuji, Japan. SeanPavone\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Due to the US-China trade war and growing uncertainties in other countries, the residential property market in Japan has witnessed a 50 percent rise in foreign investments compared to a year ago, reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/business\/article\/3035171\/japanese-residential-property-emerges-safe-haven-amid-us-china-trade-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South China Morning Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe the interest of foreign investors in Japan property will grow further. We are having larger groups of investors becoming interested in the market\u2026 particularly in residential,\u201d said Hideaki Suzuki, Cushman &amp; Wakefield\u2019s director and head of research and consulting in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>According to research published by Real Capital Analytics, a data analytics company focusing on property deals of over USD10 million, foreigners bought a total of USD848.4 million in Japanese multifamily residences, including townhomes, apartment buildings, and duplexes that can cater to different families in separate units.<\/p>\n<p>Since there are still pending deals worth USD1.2 billion, they predict the cross-border investment to reach at least USD2.1 billion by the end of the year, at least four times more than a year before.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/japans-niche-real-estate-sectors-are-enticing-investors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: Japan\u2019s niche real estate sectors are enticing investors<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Allianz Real Estate, the property investment unit of German insurer Allianz, acquired a USD1.2 billion portfolio of 82 residential assets with 4,600 multifamily units last October.<\/p>\n<p>In the same month, M&amp;G Real Estate, the property fund management arm of M&amp;G Investments, acquired a residential portfolio of three assets with 307 multifamily residential units for USD57 million.<\/p>\n<p>Japan is the world\u2019s third-biggest economy, but it also has a rapidly-ageing population. Fortunately, major cities like Tokyo appeal to net migration, where younger generations are moving from other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Just last year, the total population in the Japanese capital rose by nine percent, which is around 80,000 more people. Experts believe the government initiative of allowing foreign workers to eventually become Japanese citizens could have also encouraged the growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mostly prompted by the US-China trade war and geopolitical tensions
