Real estate investment volume drops 30.6% YoY to $20.8b in 2023

Excluding GLS deals, residential, office, and industrial sectors supported investment volume.

Singapore saw $20.8b in real estate investments in 2023, translating to a 30.6% drop from 2022.

Excluding the Government Land Sales (GLS) tenders, residential (27.5%), office (18.1%) and industrial (17.0%) sectors supported investment volume this year.

Data from Colliers showed that GLS tenders accounted for 48.2% or $2.9b of the total volume in 4Q23 and 37.2% or $37.2b of the total for the whole year.

In 2024, Colliers expects investment sales to be 5% to 15% higher than 2023, at $22b-$24b.

“For 2024, there is unlikely to be a strong rebound as deal-making will still be constrained by weaker rental growth, the higher interest rate environment and tighter liquidity. However, real estate investments in Singapore will retain its allure with capital inflows attracted to its haven status, especially from private wealth,” Colliers said.

Chart of the Day

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.
