Cross-border investors pour US$1.49 bil into land and development projects in Singapore in 2024: Colliers
China stays the leading spot for cross-border property investment, with US$ 29.1 billion pouring into the country last year. At the same time, Germany and Australia took 3rd and 4th spot in the international positions, specifically, with US$ 1.02 billion and US$ 1.01 billion in investments.
“As an international capital hub, Asia Pacific’s diverse financial investment appeal is undeniable,” claims Chris Pilgrim, Colliers administering director of Global Capital Markets, Asia Pacific. The region’s strategic position and expanding influence underscore its pivotal function in shaping the international investment landscape, he says.
This year, revenue spreads across all of the places globally are expected to align to comparable degrees, that will enable the broader development of domestic and cross-border capital, claims Pilgrim. Realty markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), as well as the Asia Pacific region, can be the major beneficiaries of an expansion in global cross-border investment activity in the middle of a stronger US dollar this year.

“Singapore’s strategic placement and robust investment option appeal have actually solidified its position as a global capital hub,” says Bastiaan van Beijsterveldt, managing director at Colliers Singapore. “As we get through 2025, Singapore remains a beacon for capitalists seeking development and stability in the vibrant Asia Pacific region”.
According to Colliers’ Global Capital Flows report, Singapore listed as the 2nd most alluring cross-border place for property and development ventures in 2024, with US$ 1.49 billion ($1.99 billion) bought the local real estate industry.
The United States was the leading source of cross-border realty financial investment capital, contributing US$ 48.48 billion, followed by Canada and the UK at US$ 19.7 billion and US$ 10.78 billion, specifically.
Beyond two years in the Asia Pacific region, five real estate fields drew in the most interest from capitalists, led by the office field which gathered US$ 57 billion, adhered to by commercial assets (US$ 55 billion), retail (US$ 37 billion), multifamily real properties (US$ 17 billion), and hospitality (US$ 15 billion).
Along with being a top destination for capital spending, Singapore-based investment firms were the fourth greatest resource of cross-border resources movement right into various other real estate industry, with an overall outflow of US$ 8.9 billion in 2024.
