On February 21st, ULI China Mainland held a webinar on how the coronavirus has impacted the real estate market in China. This webinar shared some key findings of a survey conducted by Colliers International. Dave Chiou, Colliers Senior Director of Research, provided an analysis of the impact on each key property sector including office, retail, and logistics, data centers, potential investment opportunities, and recommendations for investors.

During the session, Dave elaborated on the survey which involved 138 landlords, 337 tenants, 74 retailers, 105 data center operators, 70 logistics and warehouse operators, and included detailed discussions of valuations and investment sentiment with its clients.
