Property investment reaches $18.1b in H1

First-half transaction volume surpassed the country’s total for the whole of 2025.

Singapore recorded approximately $18.1b (US$14.1b) in commercial real estate transactions in the first half of 2026, according to Colliers.

The six-month total had already exceeded the country’s full-year investment volume for 2025, making Singapore one of Asia-Pacific’s strongest-performing property markets.

Colliers attributed investor interest partly to Singapore’s liquidity, transparency and stability.

Among the region’s major markets, China recorded approximately $35.3b (US$27.5b) in transactions, followed by Japan at $32.5b (US$25.3b) and Australia at $20.3b (US$15.8b).

A notable Singapore transaction was CapitaLand Ascott Trust’s approximately $359m (US$280m) sale of The Robertson House. Colliers described it as the country’s largest adviser-led hospitality sale since 2023.

Across Asia-Pacific, commercial real estate investment reached approximately $134.7b (US$105b), marking the region’s strongest first-half performance since 2022.

Overseas buyers accounted for 35.9% of regional acquisitions, up from 26% in 2023. Cross-border buyers also exceeded cross-border sellers during the period.

Capital was directed towards traditional sectors such as office, retail and industrial properties, whilst data centres continued to attract investment. The report did not provide a sector-level breakdown for Singapore.

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.
