Cross-border investors pour US$1.49 bil into land and development projects in Singapore in 2024: Colliers
According to Colliers’ Global Capital Flows report, Singapore ranked as the 2nd most attractive cross-border location for property and development investments in 2024, with US$ 1.49 billion ($1.99 billion) purchased the local real estate market.
In addition to being a top destination for capital investment, Singapore-based investment company were the 4th strongest resource of cross-border capital movement right into other realty markets, with a total outflow of US$ 8.9 billion in 2024.
Over two years in the Asia Pacific area, 5 real property fields drew in the most interest from capitalists, led by the office field that collected US$ 57 billion, complied with by industrial assets (US$ 55 billion), retail (US$ 37 billion), multifamily properties (US$ 17 billion), and hospitality (US$ 15 billion).
The United States was the top source of cross-border realty financial investment capital, adding US$ 48.48 billion, complied with by Canada and the UK at US$ 19.7 billion and US$ 10.78 billion, specifically.
China remains the number one spot for cross-border real estate venture, with US$ 29.1 billion pouring into the country last year. On the other hand, Germany and Australia took 3rd and fourth spot in the global positions, specifically, with US$ 1.02 billion and US$ 1.01 billion in investments.
This year, yield spreads throughout all areas worldwide are expected to line up to similar degrees, that will enable the broader development of domestic and cross-border capital, states Pilgrim. Realty markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), as well as the Asia Pacific area, could be the primary beneficiaries of an expansion in international cross-border investment activity amid a more powerful US dollar this year.
“As a worldwide resources centre, Asia Pacific’s diverse financial investment appeal is evident,” states Chris Pilgrim, Colliers supervising executive of Global Capital Markets, Asia Pacific. The region’s strategic positioning and increasing influence underscore its pivotal function in shaping the global investment landscape, he says.
“Singapore’s strategic placement and strong investment demand have strengthened its position as a global capital hub,” says Bastiaan van Beijsterveldt, managing director at Colliers Singapore. “As we navigate 2025, Singapore remains a beacon for investors seeking growth and stability in the vibrant Asia Pacific region”.
