A key factor to profiting from real estate investments in China is to strategise in step with state policies, says counsel.
The upcoming year is expected to be an opportune time for offshore real estate funds, as liquidity in the market tightens. Leading foreign funds believe that the next six to 12 months would be the right time to buy for long-term investors, and restrained domestic funding to small and medium-sized real estate firms would provide further investment opportunities to foreign institutional investors.
Chinese developers that have an existing offshore holding company in place are expected to have the easiest time in seeking foreign investors and structuring deals. However, developers without offshore structures must gain access through traditional onshore foreign-invested vehicles to do deals, which subjects them to burdensome regulatory approvals and processes.
