Commercial real estate activity bounces back to pre-pandemic average

Investment activity skyrockets 223% to $1.35b in Q3.

Data from the Asia Pacific Capital Trends Report showed that Singapore commercial real estate deal activity is recovering to the pre-pandemic average, Real Capital Analytics (RCA) said.

Investment activity in Singapore increased, year on year, by 223% to $1.35b (US$1b) in the third quarter of 2021.

"This brings the year-to-date tally to $7.9b (US$5.8b), which is now back in line with the five-year pre-Covid average," RCA said.

Whilst fewer large deals were closed in this quarter, activity in the smaller end of the market began to pick up.

Overall, 90 deals over $121.90b (US$90b) were recorded, more than last year’s count.

“Singapore has perennially been a target for some of the world’s largest institutional investors. Cross-border inflows started off this year very strongly, but momentum has slowed as the city-state struggled with re-opening the economy and borders in the second half of the year. That hasn’t stopped Singaporean investors from looking abroad – they have now grown to become the most active source of Asian capital this year, both within the region, as well as at a global level,” RCA's Head of Analytics for Asia Benjamin Chow said.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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