Private property investment sales swelled 101.2% to $10.16b

It broke the record in 2Q07.

According to Colliers International, private property investment sales value saw a quantum leap in the three months between July and September 2013. Sales swelled by 101.2% QoQ from the $5.05 billion chalked up in the preceding three months to reach a record $10.16 billion, outstripping the previous high of $9.79 billion amassed in 2Q 2007 by 3.8%.

Fuelling the spike in private investment sales were the successful IPOs of three REITs comprising SPH REIT (a retail REIT), OUE Hospitality Trust (a hospitality stapled group including OUE Hospitality REIT and OUE Hospitality Business Trust) and Soilbuild Business Space REIT (an industrial REIT). 

Collectively, the properties in their initial property portfolios were transacted at $5.68 billion, accounting for some 55.9% of the quarter’s total private investment sales.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
