Foreign buyers still drawn to cheap luxury homes even as regional currencies tumble

D'Leedon was the most popular project.

Non-Singaporean investors are still buying prime homes in Singapore despite weakening regional currencies, according to a report by DTZ.

High-net worth individuals from Malaysia and Mainland China were particularly active in Districts 9, 10 and 11.

Malaysian buyers snapped up 29 luxury units in the third quarter, while Chinese buyers bought 22 units over the same period.

“Besides districts 19 and 28, most of the non- Singaporean purchases were made in district 10. Based on caveats lodged, most of these units were in Leedon Residence and D’Leedon. Both developments were more popular because they have obtained their Temporary Occupation Permits. Interested non-Singaporean buyers faced less risk as they are able to see the product they are purchasing,” said DTZ.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

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