Apac real estate investments remain resilient, supported by land and development sites: Colliers
Colliers’ record emphasize a pick up in office investment event, particularly in the Apac and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions, where the segment recaptured its top stance based upon financial investments on a rolling 24-month basis. At the same time, the retail and hospitality segments preserved quite similar degrees of activity over the past two quarters.
The rise comes as Apac markets continue to bring in land sales and new property developments. According to the report, Apac dominated the top 10 worldwide ranks for cross-border investments in land and development sites, along with seven countries from the region making the checklist. Australia led the pack, drawing US$ 1.022 billion ($1.28 billion) in investments, followed by Singapore (US$ 981 million), India (US$ 808 million), Malaysia (US$ 606 million), Hong Kong (US$ 500 million) and Japan (US$ 404 million).

Singapore holds 4th spot globally, adding over US$ 7.9 billion in cross-border funds in 1H2025. The bulk was invested in industrial assets (US$ 2.9 billion), followed by workplace (US$ 2.41 billion) and retail (US$ 1.45 billion) assets. “Singapore continues to demonstrate its strength as a resources source and financial investment destination,” claims Bastiaan VB, Colliers’ handling director for Singapore.
Regardless of economic headwinds dampening global capital industry, real estate investments in the Asia Pacific (Apac) region remain to show durability, states Colliers. In its Global Capital Flows September 2025 report, the real estate services and investment management firm notes that financial investment activity in Apac charted a slight increase of 5% since 1H2025 compared to the same period last year.
Lucy Mallick, international capital lead at Colliers, assumes sectoral shifts and fundraising momentum driven by evolving financier priorities are assisting to underpin Apac’s strength within otherwise subdued worldwide capital markets. Looking ahead, she anticipates capital flows to speed up in late 2025 as rising cost of living subsides and rate of interest decrease.
In terms of sector, the multifamily segment stays one of the most active sector internationally as of the end of 2Q2025, predominantly steered by financial investments in North America, according to Colliers. The industrial field even retained its spot as the 2nd most engaged investment market, both globally and throughout regions.
Overall, Australia and Japan were actually the only two Apac nations to rate among the leading 10 worldwide funding locations throughout all property classes. Nevertheless, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong emerged amongst the leading 10 cross-border capital resources worldwide, underscoring Apac’s growing role in outbound financial investment, states Colliers.
