Why JLL tips Macau for your next investment?

Move aside, Las Vegas. Macau has long taken over the “Gaming Capital of the World” title. This tiny city, which used to be a part of the Portuguese economy, is now the proud titleholder of being the place to be if you’re fond of the fast gaming and casino life. A little over a decade ago, there were only 11 casinos in Macau. To date, the city is now host to 35 show-stopping casinos including Wynn Resorts, Sands, Venetian and City of Dreams. Critics may say that Macau’s success has halted, following “Beijing’s clamp down on corruption and flashy consumption over the past two years” but in truth, Macau should still be on your next investment priority list. JLL  tells us why.

 

Macau still boasts of amazing financial figures: nearly 30 million people crossed into Macau in 2013, up from 11.5 million in 2002. In 2013, gaming revenues likewise have shot up to about US$45 billion. Each year, visitors numbering roughly 40 to 50 million come to spend their cash. Transportation options from mainland China are also getting better and better including a better railway system as well as a 30 kilometre bridge across the Pearl River Delta. The bridge will make it easier for people to travel from Hong Kong to Macau and vice versa. Of course, not to be left behind are the continuous expansions of the casinos.

 

Gregory Ku, Managing Director at JLL Macau, says that these developments prove Macau is “very bullish” and that the place is still “very busy.”

 

These are just a few of the reasons why Macau is a good place to prioritise for investment.

Starting a tech biz in Hong Kong? JLL COO, Gavin Morgan, comments on the opportunities in this booming industry.

Is it feasible to open a tech business in Hong Kong? Should startups now look deeper into the possibility of setting up in this Asian city? Can Hong Kong be the next tech hub after Silicon Valley and New York? These are the perennial questions of technology entrepreneurs these days, given the rampant expansion of many banking and finance related companies. With the historical expansions of these industries, shouldn’t tech companies locally be next?

JLL  COO Gavin Morgan believes that Hong Kong has all the ingredients to be the next tech capital of the world, and certainly within Asia Pacific.

 

Stating that the Hong Kong market has all the credentials to back up any interested tech company – from its highly educated and productive workforce, it’s pro-business environment, world-class infrastructure, to its high adaptation rate for technology. The fact that people can easily access Facebook, YouTube and Instagram in Hong Kong gives the city a unique edge over mainland cities. Moreover, Hong Kong, he says, is also the favourite of many mainland companies that want to expand beyond their borders. It’s strategically located and wise entrepreneurs know by heart that location, location, location is truly key in every business’ success.

 

Morgan also underscores the presence of highly skilled professionals in Hong Kong. The city, he says, is a location of choice for a high proportion of people in the Asia Pacific region. This is proof that Hong Kong truly has all the makings of an ideal location for tech businesses. Morgan also encourages companies to seek the help of investment management firms before they make the big leap to Hong Kong.

2015: A great year to invest in Asian real estate, according to JLL

 

The hunt for the best location to invest in real estate in 2015 is over. The numbers don’t lie – expert forecast for 2015 indicate that the hotel industry is a big winner this year as it grows at least 15% in Asia Pacific alone. This would mean roughly US $ 8.5 Billion of hotel sales transactions. According to JLL Hong Kong , there is a growing interest in Japan as well as a steady confidence in Australia. Indonesia and China are also not far behind. For Indonesia, the interest will be partly because of currency plays whilst China’s liquidity and encouraging cross border investment policies, will be a major draw among investors. For wise investors, the best location to keep track of all these movements  is Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong is a city where the world’s best known names in hospitality have also made their presence known.

 

Centrally located and boasting world-class technology, as well as a healthy expat community, Hong Kong is a great location to establish your home or business base in Asia.  JLL can help you relocate and find the most suitable residence for you. They will make the transition smooth and easy, leaving you with nothing but the chance to focus on your business.
