Temasek Holdings is for the first time considering investment in real estate as an asset class in India. Last year, private equity-owned real estate funds invested $5 billion in India, which is the highest since the 2008 financial crisis, according to investment advisory firm Venture Intelligence.

The Singapore government-owned company is one of the largest investors in India, with a net investment portfolio of about $9 billion, or five per cent of its $179-billion global portfolio.

“We are hopeful to tap real estate assets in India,” said Ravi Lambah, co-head India, Temasek International. “It is a more recent development that we have been looking at it. We have done a few such investments outside last year and now we are evaluating it in India.”

China's real estate sector grew faster than the overall economy in the second quarter as new home purchase restrictions in the biggest cities failed to deter buyers.

Economic output by real-estate brokers surged 8.8 per cent from a year earlier in the April-to-June period, while construction activities jumped 7.3 per cent, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Saturday.

Chinese buyers are now the largest foreign investors in Canadian commercial real estate, having spent $1.3 billion in the first half of this year, according to global real estate firm CBRE Ltd.

The figure is skewed by a single big sale, the purchase of the Bentall Centre in Vancouver by the Anbang Group, the same Chinese company that bought the Waldorf Astoria in New York City in 2014.

The Bentall Centre was reported to have sold for more than $1 billion.

Global capital still looking for a Canadian home: Don Pittis
This year's $1.3 billion in investment in the first six months from China and Hong Kong compares to $309 million last year and is a marked difference from the previous five years, when investment from Hong Kong and China represented just four per cent of the market.

So far this year, Chinese investors represent 65.4 per cent of more than $2 billion in total deals across the country in the first six months of this year.

CBRE Canada, which is based in Toronto, says China's state-owned owned firms have an interest in Canada because they are seeking out a safe haven for capital.

With the Canadian dollar relatively low and Europe looking increasingly uncertain because of Brexit, there could be more interest in commercial real estate here in the year ahead, it predicted.
