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.

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.
