COTD: Total investment volume climbs $7.6b in Q2

This was driven by major portfolio deals, commercial sales, and Paragon REIT’s privatisation.

Singapore's total investment volume reached $7.6b in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025), marking a 14.7% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increase, according to data from Colliers.

This was attributed to a series of large-scale portfolio transactions, commercial deals, and the privatisation of Paragon REIT.

Additionally, Government Land Sales (GLS) also contributed $1.6b, or 21.2% of the quarter’s total.

 

Residential sales declined 39.2% QoQ to $2.36b, largely due to reduced GLS activity.

Commercial sales rose 10.9% QoQ to $1.6b supported by active strata office transactions (108 Robinson, SGX Centre, Samsung Hub, and Suntec Tower One).

Meanwhile, industrial investment surged over sixfold QoQ to $1.64b, led by related-party and portfolio transactions.

Looking ahead, Colliers forecasts full-year 2025 investment sales to reach between $29b and $32b, representing a 10 to 20% increase over 2024.

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.
