Despite ongoing economic challenges facing global financial markets, real estate investments in the Asia Pacific region (Apac) have shown remarkable resilience, according to a recent report by Colliers. While Apac has experienced a slight increase of 5% in investment activity as of the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year, it continues to generate new developments and land sales.

The report, titled “Global Capital Flows September 2025”, reveals that Apac dominated the top ten global rankings for cross-border investments in land and development sites, with seven countries from the region making the list. Australia was the top destination for these investments, attracting US$1.022 billion ($1.28 billion), followed by Singapore (US$981 million), India (US$808 million), Malaysia (US$606 million), Hong Kong (US$500 million), and Japan (US$404 million).

Even when looking at all asset classes, only two Apac countries – Australia and Japan – ranked among the top ten global capital destinations. However, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong were among the top ten cross-border capital sources worldwide, indicating the growing role of Apac in outbound investment, as noted by Colliers.

Singapore, in particular, held the fourth place globally, contributing over US$7.9 billion in cross-border capital in the first half of 2025. The majority of this capital was invested in industrial assets (US$2.9 billion), followed by office (US$2.41 billion) and retail (US$1.45 billion) assets. Bastiaan VB, Colliers’ managing director for Singapore, comments that Singapore continues to demonstrate its strength as a capital source and investment destination.

The report also highlights the multifamily sector as the most active globally, driven by investments in North America. The industrial sector remains the second most active investment sector, globally and across regions. In Apac and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions, office investment activity has picked up, restoring its top position based on a rolling 24-month basis. Meanwhile, the retail and hospitality sectors have maintained similar levels of activity over the past two quarters.

According to Lucy Mallick, international capital lead at Colliers, shifts in investor priorities and fundraising momentum are helping Apac maintain its resilience within otherwise subdued global capital markets. She predicts that capital flows will accelerate in late 2025 as inflation subsides and interest rates decline.

In other news, in the second quarter of 2023, industrial rents and prices marked their 11th consecutive quarterly increase. Additionally, Publicis Groupe has leased 55,000 sq ft of office space at Guoco Midtown office tower, and Patrick Gidney has been appointed as senior director of occupier services at Colliers.
