Home, office property transactions up 90% in Q3

GuocoLand’s $800m home buy boosted figures.

Singapore developers showed to focus on residential and office properties in Q3 2019 as total transaction values for both sectors increased significantly by 90% within the quarter, according to Colliers Research.

Some recent land investments include GuocoLand’s purchase of a residential site at Tan Quee Lan Street for $800m, in partnership with Intrepid Investments and Hong Realty.

M+S also sold its DUO tower, which includes an office tower and a shopping mall, to Allianz Real Estate and Gaw Capital Partners for $1.4b.

Based on feedback and inquiries from investors, the office sector will continue to be highly attractive and Colliers envisage that a few more acquisitions will be completed before the year ends, said the report.

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.
