Thriving Beyond

Chinese companies are expanding globally at an unprecedented pace amid evolving global economic dynamics. This ongoing wave of globalisation is forging a new development paradigm, underpinned by elevated policy support and strategic value chain upgrades. It is characterised by a more diverse base of participants, a clear commitment to building a global ecosystem, and a global mindset from day one, all grounded in a deep commitment to glocalisation. As these companies expand and deepen their overseas presence, corporate real estate (CRE) has become a critical strategic catalyst, enabling effective global growth execution, more efficient use of internal and external resources, and sustainable long-term growth.

JLL draws on survey findings, real-world case studies, and extensive CRE advisory experience to systematically unpack both the challenges Chinese companies face across different types of overseas real estate projects and the corresponding solutions, and provide a comprehensive CRE strategy framework, combining forward-looking perspectives with practical implementation guidance to support more effective, resilient, and sustainable global expansion.

Notably, this new wave of Chinese companies going global is driving stronger demand in China’s office market, with particularly strong momentum from sectors at the forefront of overseas expansion. This is also spurring the growth of professional services providers that support Chinese companies’ global expansion.
