Property investment reaches $18.1b in H1

First-half transaction volume surpassed the country’s total for the whole of 2025.

Singapore recorded approximately $18.1b (US$14.1b) in commercial real estate transactions in the first half of 2026, according to Colliers.

The six-month total had already exceeded the country’s full-year investment volume for 2025, making Singapore one of Asia-Pacific’s strongest-performing property markets.

Colliers attributed investor interest partly to Singapore’s liquidity, transparency and stability.

Among the region’s major markets, China recorded approximately $35.3b (US$27.5b) in transactions, followed by Japan at $32.5b (US$25.3b) and Australia at $20.3b (US$15.8b).

A notable Singapore transaction was CapitaLand Ascott Trust’s approximately $359m (US$280m) sale of The Robertson House. Colliers described it as the country’s largest adviser-led hospitality sale since 2023.

Across Asia-Pacific, commercial real estate investment reached approximately $134.7b (US$105b), marking the region’s strongest first-half performance since 2022.

Overseas buyers accounted for 35.9% of regional acquisitions, up from 26% in 2023. Cross-border buyers also exceeded cross-border sellers during the period.

Capital was directed towards traditional sectors such as office, retail and industrial properties, whilst data centres continued to attract investment. The report did not provide a sector-level breakdown for Singapore.

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.
