Chart of the Day: 2 in 3 en bloc site buyers are from Singapore

More developers are positive about the property market.

This chart from Colliers International shows that majority (66% total) of the residential collective sale sites sold in Q1 2018 were acquired by local developers. About 54% of the developers were listed in Singapore, whilst 12% were also from Singapore but they were unlisted.

According to Colliers managing director Tang Wei Leng, this is “reflecting their positive long-term outlook on the Singapore property market - which is in the midst of a multi-year upturn - following higher demand for homes and the modest growth in private residential prices last year.”

Meanwhile, Chinese developers have also a significant portion of the pie. About 26% of buyers are developers from Mainland China whilst 4% are from Hong Kong. About 4% of en bloc site buyers are mixed local and foreign developers.

Generally, more foreign developers are bidding to snag a slice of Singapore’s property pie.

The total collective sale transaction value from 2016 to Q1 2018 is $14.97b.

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.
