Foreign investors have been moving away from trophy office assets and into industrial plays. : Inflow of foreign capital to U.S. commercial real estate in the first half of 2018 increased 29 percent over the previous year, reports real estate services firm CBRE. But some foreign investors are diversifying away from office assets and gateway markets, according to Mike Kendall, executive managing director of investment services with Colliers International. “Foreign investors formerly focused on trophy office assets and multifamily, but in recent years have been acquiring industrial portfolios,” he says.
