In its December 2015 Hotel Investor Sentiment Survey, Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) noted that a net balance of 90% of survey respondents are positive about the short term (six months) prospects for hotel performance in Sydney, while a net balance of 82% are positive about the medium term (two years) prospects. Initial yields (cap rates) targeted by investors in Sydney are about 6.1%. A net balance of 42% expect that initial yields will fall in the short term. According to JLL’s proprietary indicator, the hotel investment cycle in Sydney is characterised as being at a late stage of an upturn – although this is not necessarily the house view.
