Singapore ranked third most active in Asia Pacific investments

China remained the most liquid market in Asia Pacific in 4Q 2010, accounting up to 50% of the activities in the region.

Across the region activity in Q4 was lower in all countries apart from China, Singapore and Thailand, according to DTZ Research's Investment Market Update. While China only saw a small increase of 3% it still made up 50% of all the activity in the region. Singapore with an increase of 99% and Thailand with an increase of over 2000% witnessed substantial increases in investment activity.

Transactions in Singapore doubled helped by a major cross-border deal involving the German fund Deka who purchased Chevron House in Raffles Place for US$419m and the sale of two thirds of the Marina Bay Financial Centre to Suntec REIT and K-REIT Asia both from Singapore for over US$1bn each.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
