The tightening measures on China's property market haven't turned away investors. In fact, a Tuesday report actually shows increased foreign investment in the nation's real estate sector.

Much has changed in China's property market over the last few months and much hasn't. A new report by Jones Lang LaSalle, the world's leading real estate consulting company, shows that activity by foreign institutional real estate investors rebounded significantly. As the firm's head of investment explains, the government's tightening measures actually create other opportunities.

The report also shows RMB appreciation is not the major driver behind real estate decisions. Investments have strong market fundamentals on their side, especially commercial properties, including offices and retail space.

So how will foreign capital further access Chinese markets? The report indicates rapid government-driven progress in RMB funds and real estate investment trusts, along with insurance company ventures, will provide major channels.
