Property investment activity slipped 17% to $3.35b in Q1

Cautious investors booked smaller deals.

The property investment market declined 17% year-on-year to $3.35b in the first quarter, as investors remained cautious on the local property market.

According to CBRE, the private sector contributed $2.4b or 70.4% to the total investment in Q1. 31 out of 34 private deals sealed were between $100m to $300m, with smaller deal sizes reflecting investors' cautious mood.

Under the public sector investment sales, four residential and a commercial-residential sites were sold for a total of $966m in Q1.

"Going forward, investment activity will be measured, as the price disconnect between buyers and sellers persists," stated CBRE.

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.
