The competition for Singapore’s prime real estate assets is heating up as improved liquidity and pricing clarity draw both buyers and sellers back to the market. According to Colliers’ latest Investment Market Insights report, investment sales reached S$15.6b in the second quarter of 2026, bringing the total for the first half of the year to over S$32b. This surge is driven by a diverse range of opportunities across commercial, residential, hospitality, and industrial sectors.
Commercial properties continue to dominate the market, with significant transactions such as the S$880m collective sale of Loyang Valley and the S$360m sale of The Robertson House by The Crest Collection. The industrial sector also saw notable activity, including the S$322m sale of a non-JTC industrial site for logistics redevelopment. Terry Wong, Head of Capital Markets & Investment Services at Colliers Singapore, noted, “The market is no longer short of capital; it’s short of opportunities that genuinely stand out.”
Colliers forecasts that total investment sales could exceed S$40b in 2026, potentially setting a new record since 2007. Investors are increasingly targeting assets with clear leasing fundamentals and redevelopment potential. Catherine He, Head of Research at Colliers Singapore, stated, “We expect these trends to support investment activity through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027.”
As the market evolves, investors are broadening their search beyond traditional sectors to identify opportunities that promise long-term value and income growth. This shift underscores the growing confidence in Singapore’s real estate market and its appeal to both domestic and international capital.
