COTD: Total investment volume climbs $7.6b in Q2

This was driven by major portfolio deals, commercial sales, and Paragon REIT’s privatisation.

Singapore's total investment volume reached $7.6b in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025), marking a 14.7% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increase, according to data from Colliers.

This was attributed to a series of large-scale portfolio transactions, commercial deals, and the privatisation of Paragon REIT.

Additionally, Government Land Sales (GLS) also contributed $1.6b, or 21.2% of the quarter’s total.

Residential sales declined 39.2% QoQ to $2.36b, largely due to reduced GLS activity.

Commercial sales rose 10.9% QoQ to $1.6b supported by active strata office transactions (108 Robinson, SGX Centre, Samsung Hub, and Suntec Tower One).

Meanwhile, industrial investment surged over sixfold QoQ to $1.64b, led by related-party and portfolio transactions.

Looking ahead, Colliers forecasts full-year 2025 investment sales to reach between $29b and $32b, representing a 10 to 20% increase over 2024.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
