Singapore’s investment market is on track to exceed pre-pandemic levels, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s latest Singapore Market Outlook H2 2026 report. The report highlights that investment volumes reached $35.2b in the first half of 2026, approaching the $36.8b record set in 2017. This growth is attributed to Singapore’s resilient economic outlook, with GDP growth forecasted at 2.0–4.0% for 2026.
Commercial assets have been a significant driver, accounting for 50.7% of total investment volumes in H1 2026. The demand for quality office and retail assets remains strong amidst constrained supply. Wong Xian Yang, Head of Research at Cushman & Wakefield, noted, “The first half of 2026 exceeded expectations for Singapore’s real estate market, with improving capital market conditions reinforcing resilient occupier demand across multiple sectors.”
The report also indicates continued momentum in the industrial, retail, and private residential sectors, supported by easing financing costs and Singapore’s appeal as a safe-haven investment destination. Shaun Poh, Executive Director at Cushman & Wakefield, stated, “We continue to see sustained interest from both domestic and international investors targeting well-located commercial assets.”
Looking ahead, the outlook for H2 2026 is positive, particularly for industrial, retail, and private residential sectors. Despite global geopolitical uncertainties, Singapore’s market remains stable, with low interest rates and a strong investment environment. Natalie Craig, Chief Executive at Cushman & Wakefield, remarked, “As we enter H2 2026, investors’ appetite remains strong but cautious, driven by low interest rates which remain conducive for capital markets.”
