Total investment in commercial property falls 65% QoQ in Q2

The value of the total investment went down to $1.8b.

Singapore’s total investment in commercial property dropped 65% in the second quarter (Q2) of 2023 from the investment value recorded in the same period last year, MCSI said.

The count of deals went up due to smaller strata offices and shop sales. For the first half of 2023, the shophouse segment notched a record amount of investment, reaching US$484m across 22 deals.

Despite these figures, David Green-Morgan said Singapore's investment activity remains stable and is still the second most active metro and the top cross-border destination for the first two quarters of this year.

“Whilst institutional investors have been less active this year, corporates and private buyers continue to prize the city-state for its safe-haven status,” said MCSI.

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.
