Singapore’s real estate to outperform in cross-border investments

Knight Frank expects Singapore to account for 11% of cross-border capital trade in 2024.

Cross-border investments accounted for 48% of Singapore’s real estate investment volume in H1 2024, surpassing the 10-year average of 43%.

In Q2 2024 alone, Singapore saw a 63.8% YoY increase in its overall investment activity, with total cross-border volume amounting to US$756.8m.

Knight Frank noted that Singapore continued to “demonstrate healthy appeal to global capital” despite a general retreat from domestic and international investors.

The expert predicts Singapore to be among the top three markets for cross-border capital, behind Australia and Japan, and will account for 11% of trade for the full year.

Additionally, Knight Frank predicts that Singapore will receive 15% more volume from the office market and see heightened activity in the industrial sector, surpassing the long-term average, similar to the peaks of 2017/2018.

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.
