About $33.2b set to flow into SG’s living sector

It ranked as the third most-preferred investment destination in APAC.

Singapore ranked third amongst Asia Pacific's preferred Living investment destinations, with investors set to deploy an estimated $33.2b into the sector over the next five years, according to a Cushman & Wakefield survey.

It was driven largely by domestic investors as 85% plan to increase Living investment over the period, with none expecting to cut allocations.

Across APAC, co-living ranked as the second most targeted Living segment, ahead of purpose-built student accommodation.

“This is a trend the survey ties directly to Singapore's affordability pressures and demand for flexible rental housing,” the report said.

Accordingly, 3% of respondents said they are actively considering repositioning or change-of-use strategies, with office and hotel conversions gaining traction as a route to new Living stock.

More than half of respondents also indicated a preference for managing Living portfolios through local specialist partners.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
