Commercial property market posts highest Q1 investment activity in over 10 years at $3.2b

The market's investment activity for Q1 was 22% higher than Q12021.

The commercial property market posted its highest first-quarter investment activity in over 10 years in Q1 at $3.2b (US$2.3b), representing a 22% YoY increase.

With the record-breaking figure, Singapore also took the crown as the most traded CBD office market in the Asia Pacific in a single quarter for the first time, beating Tokyo, Sydney, and Soul.

Singapore was also ranked as the fifth most active metro in Q1 2022 in the Asia Pacific Commercial Property Market Starts 2022 report by Real Capital Analytics.

According to Real Capital Analytics, Singapore's commercial real estate activity was boosted by "a surge of overseas capital, including buyers from Japan, Germany, Hong Kong, the U.K., and the U.S."

“Singapore has been a magnet for cross-border investors in 2022, with offshore capital responsible for deals across the office, retail and industrial sectors. But it is the office sector where activity has been concentrated the most," AP Real Estate Research Head, David Green-Morgan said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
