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.
