Singapore ranks 3rd top target for cross-border real estate investment in APAC

Tokyo retains its spot as number one for the sixth consecutive year.

Singapore is third amongst the top investment destination, following Tokyo and Sydney, according to CBRE’s 2025 Asia Pacific Investor Intentions Survey.

CBRE said investors are attracted to Singapore because of its reliable market.

Overall investment sentiment in APAC has improved, with net buying intention rising from 5% in 2024 to 13% in 2025. Key drivers of this increase include falling debt costs and asset repricing.

Singaporean and Hong Kong SAR investors with cross-regional mandates have expressed net buying intentions across the board. Meanwhile, large Australian and Korean landlords have also demonstrated the most significant increase in their net buying intentions, driven by attractive pricing opportunities in their domestic markets.

The survey polled more than 460 APAC-based investors in November and December 2024 across a range of investor types from institutions such as real estate funds, developer/owner/operator, REIT, insurance companies, private equity funds, and pension funds to high net worth individual / private investor.
