Total investment in commercial property falls 65% QoQ in Q2

The value of the total investment went down to $1.8b.

Singapore’s total investment in commercial property dropped 65% in the second quarter (Q2) of 2023 from the investment value recorded in the same period last year, MCSI said.

The count of deals went up due to smaller strata offices and shop sales. For the first half of 2023, the shophouse segment notched a record amount of investment, reaching US$484m across 22 deals.

Despite these figures, David Green-Morgan said Singapore's investment activity remains stable and is still the second most active metro and the top cross-border destination for the first two quarters of this year. 

“Whilst institutional investors have been less active this year, corporates and private buyers continue to prize the city-state for its safe-haven status,” said MCSI.

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.
