Apac real estate investments remain resilient, supported by land and development sites: Colliers
In spite of economical headwinds dampening worldwide capital markets, realty financial investments in the Asia Pacific (Apac) region still show resilience, claims Colliers. In its Global Capital Flows September 2025 report, the realty services and investment management firm notes that investment activity in Apac charted a slight increase of 5% as of 1H2025 compared to the same duration past year.

According to the report, Apac dominated the top ten international ranks for cross-border financial investments in land and property development sites, along with seven countries from the region making the list. Australia led the pack, drawing US$ 1.022 billion ($1.28 billion) in investment decisions, followed by Singapore (US$ 981 million), India (US$ 808 million), Malaysia (US$ 606 million), Hong Kong (US$ 500 million) and Japan (US$ 404 million).

At the same time, the retail and hospitality parts kept quite similar degrees of activity over the past 2 quarters.
Singapore holds 4th place globally, contributing over US$ 7.9 billion in cross-border financing in 1H2025. The bulk was spent in industrial assets (US$ 2.9 billion), complied with by workplace (US$ 2.41 billion) and retail (US$ 1.45 billion) possessions. “Singapore continues to show its strength as a resources resource and financial investment venue,” says Bastiaan VB, Colliers’ handling supervisor for Singapore.
In general, Australia and Japan were the only two Apac countries to rank amongst the leading ten worldwide funding destinations across all possession classes.
