Case Details

Company Profile Cairn & Co. Real Estate Advisory (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. is a globally leading real estate consulting and valuation services firm, providing an integrated range of services including real estate market analysis, valuation, investment advisory, and property management. The company has extensive market experience and deep industry knowledge in Guangzhou and the broader South China region, committed to delivering efficient and professional real estate solutions for a wide range of clients. Cairn & Co. has built a strong reputation in traditional real estate, and through continuous innovation, has achieved notable success in specialized segments such as office buildings and commercial real estate. Research Background As the Guangzhou office market continues to evolve, particularly with the rapid growth of e-commerce, logistics, express delivery, and information technology industries, the diversification of office space demand has become increasingly evident. To gain a deeper understanding of the specific office space requirements of these industries and to provide data-driven support for future project development and investment decisions, Cairn & Co. initiated a comprehensive study on office space demand in Guangzhou. Given the complexity of the project and tight timelines, Cairn & Co. engaged a third-party research firm—CEIDEA Research—to conduct market data collection. Research Scope In March 2020, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by Cairn & Co. to conduct an in-depth market survey on the office space needs of enterprises in the e-commerce, logistics, express delivery, and information technology sectors in Guangzhou. The survey primarily involved one-on-one interviews with senior executives from these industries, visiting 8 industrial parks and 100 enterprises. Survey content covered multiple dimensions, including: the primary reasons for selecting office space, key considerations (such as location, transportation accessibility, rental costs), hardware and software requirements (such as office facilities, smart technology integration, and spatial layout), and the companies' current preferences and future demand trends. By collecting this information, the study aims to comprehensively understand the key decision factors influencing different types of enterprises when choosing office space, and to provide Cairn & Co. with objective, market-driven data support. Expected Outcomes The final output of this research will provide Cairn & Co. with key data and in-depth insights into the demand for office space among e-commerce, logistics, express delivery, and information technology enterprises in Guangzhou. The research report will help clients accurately grasp the actual office space needs of these industries, serving as a critical reference for future office space positioning, spatial design, property management, and investment decisions. The report will include specific trends in industry demand, key selection factors, and client expectations regarding office space, ensuring that Cairn & Co. can deliver precise market analysis and consulting services, thereby supporting the successful implementation of related projects and maximizing investment returns.
