Chinese residential and commercial investors are increasingly drawn to stable returns found in Tokyo’s vibrant real estate market, reports China Daily (4 November 2015). Last year, the Fosun Group bought two office buildings there, and is currently seeking a Tokyo hotel to invest in to cater to the surge of Chinese tourists in Japan. Another Chinese company, China Investment Corp bought a Tokyo office-and-commercial complex for US$1.2 billion in a joint venture this year. Chinese investors are opting to invest abroad to diversify their portfolio – Juwai.com received Chinese buyers enquiries worth US$30 billion with an average budget of US$2.6 million in 2014 alone.
