Singapore ranks fourth in global cross-border investment in 2024

The total investments reached $6.7b.

In 2024, Singapore was the fourth most in-demand destination for cross-border investment with total investments reaching $6.7b (U$5b), Knight Frank reported.

Singapore also logged the second biggest private capital commercial property deal with the sale of 21 Collyer Quay to Sunrise Capital Management for $695m (US$520m).

In 2025, the logistics and living sectors are expected to attract the most significant investment in 2025.

According to Knight Frank, investors may be more inclined to transact within the more conventional corporate real estate (CRE) sectors compared to healthcare and student housing assets which face operational complexities, compliance challenges, and liquidity constraints.

“Borrowing against property is already showing an upward trend, reflecting growing investor appetite, while global CRE pricing is beginning to stabilise. All this suggests that 2025 could usher in a stronger phase of recovery, with increased capital flows and renewed momentum in the CRE sector,” CBRE said.

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.
