Israel ranked 11th worldwide in outbound commercial real estate investment, according to JLL’s 2025 international investment analysis.
JLL also reported that Israel is ranked eighth in the US and 11th in Europe for outbound commercial real estate.
The report noted that Israeli investment in European real estate projects remains higher than in the US, with Israeli investors funding projects totaling $1.93 billion in Europe and $1.06 billion in the US.
The report also disclosed that the Israeli investor opted for the industrial and logistics, offices, hotels, and hospitality sectors, while private and institutional capital were among the main investor types.
“The 2025 data shows that the Israeli investor is no longer in the stage of entering global markets, but rather in the stage of managing an allocation mix,” said Mor Ziv, head of Real Estate Investments at JLL Israel.
“Israeli investors today examine each market according to asset quality, financing structure, the local partner, risk level, and the ability to create long-term value,” he added.
Israeli investments top Europe’s active interregional capital sources
Even though geopolitical tensions have arisen between Israel and Europe in the last couple of years, Israeli investment in the region remains among the highest sources of active interregional capital.
According to the report, Israel is the fifth-largest investor in European commercial real estate from outside Europe, with more than 50 projects completed in 2025, five of which exceeded $100 million.
This represents a decrease compared to 2024’s numbers, which totaled approximately $2.44 billion, but it still shows how big a player Israel is in this market.
Israeli investment in the US
In the US, investment nearly doubled, rising from $529 million in 2024 to $1.06 billion in 2025, with JLL attributing this to the American market being “a deep, familiar and liquid destination for Israeli investors.”
“For many of them, the U.S. offers a large market, a wide range of assets, the ability to operate with experienced local partners, and access to large-scale transactions,” the firm’s statement read.
“The Menora Mivtachim transaction that we advised on this year, an investment of more than US$50 million in a logistics real estate fund managed by Hillwood Investment Properties in the US. This transaction illustrates the growing maturity of Israeli capital: an experienced institutional investor, a deep US market, a logistics sector that remains at the center of demand, and a leading local partner with decades of experience,” Ziv said.
The report added that this rise in Israeli investments in the US comes along with a broader recovery in international investment activity in the region, while it clarified that “the actual volume of Israeli activity in the US may be higher than the reported figure, as some investments are carried out through US entities and are therefore not fully attributed to Israel in the data.”
