According to Colliers’ Global Capital Flows report, Singapore placed as the second most appealing cross-border destination for land and development investments in 2024, with US$ 1.49 billion ($1.99 billion) bought the local property industry.
In addition to being a leading destination for capital investment, Singapore-based investment firms were the fourth greatest resource of cross-border funding flow into other real estate industry, with a total outflow of US$ 8.9 billion in 2024.
“Singapore’s strategic placement and sturdy investment demand have actually strengthened its status as a global capital hub,” says Bastiaan van Beijsterveldt, managing director at Colliers Singapore. “As we get through 2025, Singapore continues to be a beacon for capitalists seeking development and stability in the vibrant Asia Pacific region”.
This year, income spreads throughout all of the places around the world are expected to align to comparable degrees, which will allow the broader development of residential and cross-border capital, claims Pilgrim. Real estate markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and also the Asia Pacific zone, could be the primary beneficiaries of a growth in global cross-border investment event amidst a more powerful US dollar this year.
“As a worldwide resources center, Asia Pacific’s different investment appeal is undeniable,” states Chris Pilgrim, Colliers supervising director of Global Capital Markets, Asia Pacific. The region’s strategic setting and growing impact underscore its pivotal function in shaping the global investment landscape, he says.
The US was the top source of cross-border property financial investment capital, adding US$ 48.48 billion, complied with by Canada and the UK at US$ 19.7 billion and US$ 10.78 billion, respectively.
