Private property investment sales raked in $4.99b worth of deals

But public sector sales crashed 18.3%.

According to Colliers International, total property investment sales value inched up 4.0% on a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis to $7.21 billion in the April to June 2013 period from the $6.93 billion garnered in 1Q 2013. 

This brought the total investment sales value for 1H 2013 to $14.14 billion, just 3.1% shy of the $14.59 billion closed in 1H 2012. 

"While private investment sales managed to rake in some $4.99 billion worth of deals, representing an improvement of 18.5% from the $4.21 billion accumulated in the preceding quarter, public sector sales fell by 18.3% QoQ to $2.23 billion in the three months ending 30 June 2013," Colliers International said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
