“Singapore’s strategic positioning and robust investment option appeal have solidified its position as a global capital hub,” says Bastiaan van Beijsterveldt, managing director at Colliers Singapore. “As we navigate 2025, Singapore continues to be a beacon for financiers looking for development and stability in the vibrant Asia Pacific region”.
China remains the number one spot for cross-border realty venture, with US$ 29.1 billion pouring into the nation last year. On the other hand, Germany and Australia took third and 4th place in the international positions, respectively, with US$ 1.02 billion and US$ 1.01 billion in investments.
According to Colliers’ Global Capital Flows record, Singapore listed as the second most appealing cross-border place for property and development ventures in 2024, with US$ 1.49 billion ($1.99 billion) bought the local property market.
Along with being a top destination for capital investment, Singapore-based investment firms were the fourth greatest resource of cross-border resources stream into other real estate markets, with a total outflow of US$ 8.9 billion in 2024.
The US was the top source of cross-border realty investment capital, contributing US$ 48.48 billion, followed by Canada and the UK at US$ 19.7 billion and US$ 10.78 billion, respectively.
This year, income spreads across all areas worldwide are expected to align to similar levels, which will enable the broader development of residential and cross-border capital, states Pilgrim. Realty industry in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), along with the Asia Pacific zone, could be the primary beneficiaries of a growth in international cross-border investment event in the middle of a more powerful US dollar this year.
