    COMMERCIAL real estate investment volumes in the Asia-Pacific in the third quarter have risen to the highest quarterly levels since 2022, driven by lower cost of debt and a surge in interest in Korea. 

    Deals done in the Asia-Pacific recorded 82 per cent year on year growth to US$38.8 billion, said a report by JLL on Monday (Nov 4). 

    Korea was the most active market in the Asia-Pacific in the quarter, with mega-office deals fuelling a jump in deal value to US$8.4 billion, up 31 per cent year on year.
