Chart of the Day: Commercial property sales ballooned 216.8% to $1.4b in Q2

The biggest transaction for the Q2 is the divestment of Twenty Anson for $516m.

This chart from Colliers International Singapore Research showed that the commercial sector turned around in Q2 with investment sales rising to 216.8% to $1.4b from a slump in Q1.

However, it also revealed that commercial investment sales volume dropped 59.3% YoY compared to the peak of sales in Q2 2017.

The Q2 recovery was mainly powered by the purchase of the Twenty Anson from CapitaLand Commercial Trust for $516m by US-based property investment manager AEW.

Other transactions considered to have a significant impact to the quarter's pickup include the divestment of Sembawang Shopping Centre for $248m, MYP Plaza for $247m, and The Rail Mall for $63.24m.

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.
