Fewer than 220 days remain until U.S. President Donald Trump faces a key test in the 2018 congressional midterm elections this November.

How have the commercial property markets performed under Trump?

Where do we stand today and more importantly where is the market headed?

Where are potential opportunities for global investors to find better yield?

How are the macro-economy and real estate supply/demand fundamentals informing those decisions?


Please join our AmCham morning event at 8.00 am on 23 May in Shanghai or 12 pm on 24 May in Hong Kong, and hear the insights shared by Kevin Thorpe, Chief Economist and Global Head of Research of Cushman & Wakefield.


The primary purpose of AmCham China's Real Estate and Development Forum ​is to promote transparency and create awareness in the fields of real estate, construction and design, engineering, land use rights and administration. Land use rights and development are fundamental elements of China's growth story, and market transparency will help to ensure this growth. The forum uses its current policy dialogue to make recommendations and suggest improvements to the government. The Real Estate Forum meets on a monthly basis and its recent activities have focused on industry regulations and policies, as well as new market trends and opportunities in second tier cities, based on the latest research on fifty cities' real estate markets.
