Summary

Macro Economy
 
  • Japan’s real GDP is expected to expand by 2.1% q-o-q (annualized 8.5%) in Q4 2020, but likely to slip into negative growth in Q1 2021, due to its second COVID state of emergency.
  • Economic recovery is expected to be moderate. Japan’s real GDP is expected to recover its cyclical peak (Q3 2019) in FY2023.

Real Estate Market
 
  • Tokyo grade-A office rents declined by 8.9% q-o-q in Q4 2020, falling to the same level in Q4 2017.
  • Tokyo multifamily rents remained resilient, but pockets of weakness have been seen in urban residential areas.
  • Amidst the COVID third wave, headwinds for hotels and retails are becoming stronger.
  • Logistics rents have continued to increase in Q4 2020 driven by robust occupier demand from e-commerce.

Capital Market
 
  • J-REIT Index increased by 3.3% q-o-q in Q4 2020 and declined 16.9% y-o-y in 2020.
