Investor sentiment improves in Asia Pacific as Singapore draws capital

In Singapore, the office and data centre segments are receiving particular attention.

Investor sentiment across the Asia-Pacific region is strengthening heading into 2026, with capital flows picking up sharply and Singapore standing out as one of the key destinations for renewed deployment.

According to Colliers' 2026 Global Investor Outlook, APAC-focused capital raising surged more than 130% since 2024, now accounting for 11% of global fundraising in the first three quarters of 2025.

Investors are drawn to the region’s growth resilience, expanding middle class, and innovation-led opportunities.

In Singapore, the office and data centre segments are receiving particular attention. Office assets are back in favour, supported by steady occupier demand and long-term fundamentals.

The city-state is also identified as a high-growth hub for data centre investment, alongside Australia and India. Singapore’s hospitality and student housing sectors are also attracting interest, underpinned by recovering tourism and tight student accommodation supply.

More broadly, 64% of APAC investors expect economic conditions to improve in 2026, with about 60% anticipating better liquidity and rental growth.

Private wealth and family offices, especially from Hong Kong and Australia, are becoming more active, with Colliers noting that policy and tax initiatives are helping draw foreign family office capital into key regional cities.

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.
