Singapore mixed-use investment sales hit $1.9b in Q1

Hougang Central and Centrepoint deals lift volumes.

Singapore’s mixed-use investment sales rose to $1.9b in the first quarter of 2026, more than doubling from the previous quarter, lifted by two major transactions.

The segment accounted for 16.5% of total investment sales in Q1, according to Savills, making it the fourth-largest asset class by value after residential, industrial, and commercial.

The biggest mixed-use deal was the award of the Hougang Central government land sale site, a commercial and residential parcel, to a CapitaLand-UOL consortium for $1.5b, or $1,179 psf per plot ratio. Savills said the 504,820 square feet site was the first GLS launch in Hougang since 2019.

The property consultancy said the tender drew three bids, with the modest participation and measured pricing suggesting developers remained disciplined amid ongoing cost pressures and cautious demand conditions.

The other mixed-use transaction was Frasers Property’s $391.9m acquisition of the rear block of The Centrepoint on Orchard Road through a collective sale tender. The asset comprises 66 strata retail units and 66 residential apartments.

Savills said Orchard Road continued to attract strong developer interest, with The Centrepoint marking the fifth successful collective sale in the precinct since 2022.

Looking ahead, it expects mixed-use sites to feature more prominently as developers see them as offering stronger marketing appeal for residential launches, supporting healthy tender activity for mixed-use GLS projects.

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.
