Four U.S. markets, five European markets and one from Asia Pacific are the top 10 most liquid commercial property markets in the world, according to the latest edition of the RCA Capital Liquidity Scores.
Manhattan was top of the ranks once again, with its score increasing from a year prior. It was joined in the top 10 by Boston, San Francisco and Chicago, the year-end 2018 rankings showed. The 5 Wards district of Tokyo was the only Asia Pacific market at the top of the list of 155 markets covered by the report.
Berlin, Frankfurt and two Paris markets featured at the top of the list. Central London was in the tenth spot, its liquidity score dropping from a year ago.
