Some are only looking for skyscrapers with office space in London, while others are looking for commercial office buildings in B and C locations. Some of the investors only buy top residential properties in A-locations, while others are interested in portfolios in rural areas. Retail and hotel properties are also sought-after asset classes.

In times of an aging population, nursing and health care properties also play a greater role.
