Singapore ranks fourth in global cross-border investment in 2024
The total investments reached $6.7b.
In 2024, Singapore was the fourth most in-demand destination for cross-border investment with total investments reaching $6.7b (U$5b), Knight Frank reported.
Singapore also logged the second biggest private capital commercial property deal with the sale of 21 Collyer Quay to Sunrise Capital Management for $695m (US$520m).
In 2025, the logistics and living sectors are expected to attract the most significant investment in 2025.
According to Knight Frank, investors may be more inclined to transact within the more conventional corporate real estate (CRE) sectors compared to healthcare and student housing assets which face operational complexities, compliance challenges, and liquidity constraints.
“Borrowing against property is already showing an upward trend, reflecting growing investor appetite, while global CRE pricing is beginning to stabilise. All this suggests that 2025 could usher in a stronger phase of recovery, with increased capital flows and renewed momentum in the CRE sector,” CBRE said.
