Residential investment: the first quarter of 2022 continues the momentum of a record year 2021

Record investment volumes

In the 1st quarter of 2022, the residential investment market reached €3,1 billion, and is fully in line with the momentum observed over the past two years. The quarter was thus boosted by the acquisition of a French CDC portfolio by CNP Assurances for €2,4 billion. Apart from this portfolio, which occupies a large part of the volume, the rest of the amounts invested show that new properties occupy a predominant place.

“Given the lack of supply in existing properties and the increasingly pressing requirements in terms of environmental standards, new buildings are becoming the target of investors seeking to increase their exposure to residential properties”, commented Sébastien Lorrain, Residential Director of CBRE France.

“While traditional institutional investors seek to penetrate the market more massively, intermediate and social housing operators continue to be very present on the French residential market. he adds.

With 20% of the volume invested in managed residential, the trend for these alternative products is consolidating and once again demonstrates all the interest in this type of serviced housing, in particular co-living.
