Capital raised for Asia Pacific real estate strategies more than doubled in 2025, signalling renewed investor confidence in the region’s long-term prospects, according to Colliers’ Global Capital Flows report. The report highlights a 109% year-on-year increase in capital raised for Asia Pacific-focused strategies, significantly outpacing the growth in funds allocated to North America and EMEA.
Despite a more measured recovery in investment volumes, Asia Pacific is increasingly being prioritised within global portfolios. Theo Novak, Managing Director of Capital Markets & Investment Services at Colliers, noted, “The scale of capital being raised for deployment into the region shows a clear shift in how global portfolios are being constructed for the next cycle.”
Japan and Australia have both increased their share of global cross-border investment, reinforcing their status as key gateway markets. Meanwhile, the United States remained the largest source of global real estate capital, driven by strong fundraising for data centres and other growth sectors.
Sector preferences are evolving, with office assets leading in Asia Pacific over the past 24 months, supported by demand for high-quality buildings. Retail investment has also strengthened alongside the recovery in tourism and consumer spending.
Colliers anticipates that the surge in capital raised for Asia Pacific will support increased investment activity through 2026, as the region’s economic growth forecasts remain robust. Novak emphasised, “Capital is backing assets and markets that can perform through change, not just in the near term, but over the long run.”
