Local developers emerge as Asia’s most aggressive foreign property investors

They splurged $10b in the first nine months of the year.

Local developers are casting their nets wide in overseas market. With accretive assets hard to come by in Singapore’s tight property market, local developers have become Asia’s most aggressive overseas property investors.

According to PwC, Singapore emerged as the largest net exporter of capital in the first half of the year, with developers splurging around $10b to acquire overseas assets from January to September.

Meanwhile, Colliers notes that while Chinese investment continues to dominate headlines and is emerging as a major source of outbound capital, Singapore remains the dominant player hen it comes to targeting all regions across Asia Pacific.

“Singaporean institutions rank among the top foreign investors in Australia, mainland China and the United Kingdom, and will likely continue to put money to work in these markets,” noted Colliers.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
