Residential assets lead Q3 investment sales with 46.3% share

Industrial and office sectors contribute 44.2% combined

Singapore’s investment sales reached $10.1b in Q3 2025, with residential assets contributing 46.3% of the total, according to Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Research. The sector’s dominance reflects sustained developer interest in well-located plots with strong transport and amenity access.

Industrial assets accounted for 26.5% of investment sales, supported by warehouse demand and stable rental growth. Office assets contributed 17.7%, underpinned by tight CBD occupancy and limited new supply.

Retail assets made up 5.2% of the quarter’s investment volume, while hotel and shop house segments remained niche at 2.2% and 2.0% respectively. Investor appetite in these categories was constrained by cautious sentiment and limited transaction activity.

The sectoral mix highlights investor preference for residential and industrial assets with redevelopment potential and resilient income profiles. As pricing gaps narrow and interest rate pressures ease, investment momentum is expected to strengthen across core segments.

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.
