Considering hedging against the chaos in the United States, Japanese real estate developers are turning their attention to the United Kingdom

Due to economic uncertainty and trade turmoil prompting real estate investors to diversify their investments outside the United States, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. plans to invest more in the UK. The developer is reconsidering its investments in the US, which means the company may obtain more investments from the UK and continental Europe, said Masa Iwase, the company's senior executive and head of the international business group. Although many Japanese investors have been "very active" in investing in the US over the past five years, the US market is "a bit chaotic" now. Therefore, many are shifting part of their funds to European investments, "such as in London."
