The international investor once again trusts in offices
The international investor is once again putting their trust in offices, a market that was severely weakened after Covid due to fears about teleworking.
International investors are regaining confidence in offices, a sector weakened by the pandemic and remote work. In the first half of 2026, office investment attracted $24.9 billion in foreign capital, accounting for 22% of global cross-border investment, according to Savills. This marks the highest proportion since 2022. The retail sector also saw increased investment, with $20 billion in foreign capital.
Global cross-border investment in real estate reached $112 billion in the first half of 2026, with the US and UK being the top destinations, and Spain attracting 6.5% of the total.
