    [SINGAPORE] Lower interest rates, tight office supply in the Republic’s Central Business District (CBD) and pent-up demand from investors armed with dry powder have helped to fuel a resurgence in Singapore office deals since the second half of last year.

    Including the S$2.48 billion sale of Asia Square Tower 2 announced on Monday (Apr 20), the tally for office investment sales in the city-state has reached S$10.74 billion in the year to date.

    This figure from JLL Research, as at Monday, is 2.7 times the S$4 billion for the whole of 2025, which was a three-year high.
