What makes Singapore property attractive for foreign investors this year?

Here are some opportunities in each property sector.

Analysts are seeing continued resilience in terms of property investment in Singapore, highlighting several opportunities the country could leverage on.

According to Colliers, despite pressures on both the general economy and office rents in the past years, investment opportunities still abound in the office market, given its status as a sophisticated market economy with high regulatory transparency.

Meanwhile, the industry property in Singapore is also becoming more popular as foreigners, in general, assume they can overcome licensing issues.

For the residential market, opportunities are in collective sales.

"While we believe that any easing of the government's residential cooling measures should provide an impetus for foreign investment in the luxury residential segment in particular. Foreigners should find it attractive to re-enter this segment when the additional buyer’s stamp duty of 15% imposed on foreigners is eventually relaxed or removed," Colliers said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
