Return to the office – is CBD property dead, or a great buying opportunity?

With the world returning to travel, festivals and more, it’s easy to believe that the impacts of Covid are behind us. But central business districts in many countries are still struggling, and businesses are finding the challenge of getting workers back to the office harder than expected. So should investors be wary, or opportunistic?

Morningstar analyst Alex Prineas joins the podcast to share:

• What the 17% fall in the value of a single CBD office tower means for the rest of the industry
• How to measure the return to the office when the data is patchy
• Whether valuations of office AREITs have fallen sufficiently to give investors something to cheer, and 
• Why your superannuation is likely affected, even if you hold no REITs in your portfolio.
