RICS Monitor: Why 2026 Is a Market of Specific Opportunities

Commercial real estate sentiment is improving globally, but the recovery is far from uniform, according to the results of the latest surveys released by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in London. The Americas, led by the U.S., are seeing clearer signs of momentum, while parts of Europe remain cautious and Asia Pacific presents a mixed picture. Geopolitical risks, policy shifts and sector-specific headwinds remain very real, so focusing on specific cities and property types where fundamentals genuinely support growth will be key going forward as broad regional bets may no longer work.
