Singapore ranks sixth in global property capital exports

Outbound flows hit US$8.39b in 2025.

Singapore ranked as the world’s sixth-largest source of cross-border real estate capital in 2025, with outbound flows reaching US$8.39b, according to Colliers.

Of this total, US$3.37b was deployed into global cross-border deals and US$5.02b into regional transactions. Singapore’s share of global cross-border capital sources rose to 9.1%, above its five-year average of 5.2%.

Across the region, APAC real estate investment volumes rose 1.7% in 2025, lagging North America and EMEA.

However, Colliers said transactions of standing assets in core APAC markets increased about 8%, signalling resilience in key locations. Japan and Australia also gained share as destinations for cross-border capital, moving above their five-year averages.

Globally, property investment volumes rose 8.2% in 2025, whilst commercial real estate fundraising climbed 28.9% to more than US$222b. Fundraising earmarked for APAC rose 109%, outpacing the 52% rise in EMEA and the 3.5% increase in North America.

For 2026, Colliers said GDP growth is expected to be strongest in APAC, with all major regional markets except Japan forecast to expand by 2% or more.

It added that a more supportive cost-of-capital backdrop could aid real estate activity, although higher long-term bond yields and geopolitical uncertainty may still weigh on institutional allocations.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
