Chart of the Day: Property investments plunged 73.4% to $1.7b in Q2

No transactions in the public sector were recorded during the quarter.

This chart from Knight Frank shows that property investment sales in Q2 totalled $1.7b, signifying a 73.4% YoY plunge from $6.4b in Q2 2019. It also marks a 41.4% QoQ crash from $2.9b in Q1, with no transactions recorded in the public sector.

Whilst general activity in the real estate market was muted, the presence of several big-ticket commercial deals bolstered investment sales in the second quarter totalling $1.4b.

The divestments of Perennial Real Estate Holdings’ 30% stake in TripleOne Somerset to Shun Tak Holdings ($155.1mi) and the 50% stake in AXA Tower to Alibaba Group's Singapore subsidiary ($840m) formed a substantial proportion of the deals inked.

More recently, Oxley Holding and Oxley Beryl, owners of the former Chevron House, are in the midst of selling the retail and commercial units of the development to Siriti R and Siriti C for $315m.

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.
