Singapore investors snapped up $16.22b worth of properties in 2014

Local investors led outbound real estate investments in the region.

Singapore topped the regional charts when it came to outbound real estate acquisitions in 2014.

Data released today by CBRE showed that firms in the city-state bagged $16.22b (US$11.9b) in 2014, as Singapore-based investors looked offshore as a result of compressed yields in their home market and a shortage of investible assets.

The second largest source of capital was China, closely followed by Hong Kong. Asian outbound real estate investment had a record year, reaching US$40 billion—reflecting an increase of 23% year-on-year.

EMEA continued to receive the largest share of Asian investment, receiving US$13.7 billion of the total, but remained flat on 2013. Other regions saw substantial increases in Asian investments: Americas (up 20% year-on-year), Pacific (33% year-on-year) and Asia intra-regionally (58% year-on-year). In Asia, Japan was the leading target destination, followed by China.

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.
