Rather than investing in residential properties, 2011 could see a shift of focus towards commercial properties, especially industrial and office spaces.

Over the past few months, the two sectors have been performing well due to their high rental growth. The US economy will soon be awash with the economic stimulus package known as QE2 - approximately US$600 billion worth of funds pumped in to aid the USA’s sluggish economy. The monetary boost from QE2 will allow banks to generate more loans, thus inducing more business opportunities. This results in higher number of tenants looking for industrial and office spaces for the next few months.

Also, commercial property investments especially Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are more liquid than their residential counterpart because of their existence as small units or shares. As the hot monies will be strongly tied to the capital markets, investing in financial securities will be more appealing for many financial institutions rather than real physical assets. The current low interest rates and strengthening Singdollar will also help leveraging which boosts the investment activities.
