[SINGAPORE] Favourable financing terms and firm fundamentals will fuel investor appetite for Singapore commercial real estate, after a year buoyed by big-ticket office and industrial deals, analysts said.
Real estate investment sales for the first three quarters of the year in Singapore totalled US$9.1 billion, an 11 per cent increase from the same period in 2024, data from JLL showed.
That’s not counting three major deals announced in December: the sale of Hongkong Land’s one-third stake in Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) Tower 3 to Keppel Real Estate Investment Trust (Reit) for S$1.45 billion; Brookfield’s acquisition of eight industrial properties from ESR for S$338.1 million; and the sale of Clementi Mall for S$809 million.
