Singapore to clinch 11% of Asia Pacific cross-border real estate investment capital in 2024
Simon Matthews, director of debt advisory, Asia Pacific, at Knight Frank, says: “The three-and five-year swap fees (common terms for real estate investment fundings) in essential markets reveal just a small decrease in rates and support the story of higher for much longer rate of interest.”
She includes that price cuts will lead the way for cross-border investments in the Asia Pacific area to increase by over a third in 2H2024 over 2H2023.
According to Knight Frank’s predictions, 48% of inbound realty investment capital right into Singapore are going to move right into the workplace market, with 31% going into industrial assets, and the excess landing up in retail industry (19%) and hotel (2%).
The lead will certainly go to Australia, which is expected to attract 36% of the area’s overall cross-border investment resources this year, followed by Japan, which could draw 23% of cross-border financial investment capital. Singapore drive the leading 3 investment locations for cross-border investment funding this year.
Singapore will be one of the top 3 real property investment locations in the Asia Pacific region for cross-border capital for the entire of 2024. The city-state is expected to attract approximately 11% of cross-border financial investment going through this region.
She adds that outbound funding from Japan and Singapore are going to be among the leading sources of property investment capital in 2024, and financiers are going to target markets and properties that show “structural tailwinds”.
This was among the data from a market record on cross-border capital trends in Asia Pacific, released by Knight Frank on July 30.

Victoria Ormond, head of global capital markets research at Knight Frank, says that private resources is anticipated to remain a “significant” contributor to international financial investment over the remaining months of this year as financial obligation markets shape overall market dynamics.
” Differences in interest rates across the region, ranging from marginal boosts in Japan to steep increases in marketplace like Australia, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore and South Korea, influence property values. However, this range offers numerous possibilities for financiers wanting to increase profits,” claims Ormond.
Knight Frank identifies hotel and mixed-use resources as excellent opportunistic strategies, while some hotel real estates and Grade-B/Grade-C office properties found convincing value-add tactics. The consultancy claims that investors should pay attention for “strategic partnerships” between investors and property developers to boost or redevelop these assets for greater yields and funds appraisal.
Inbound cross-border investment funding last quarter totaled up to US$ 756.8 million ($ 1.017 billion), mainly sustained by the PAG’s purchase of Mapletree Anson for US$ 567.5 million from Mapletree Commercial Trust.
” We anticipate a six- to nine-month window for global capital to capitalise on current prices and lowered competitors before the anticipated recovery becomes widely identified,” says Christine Li, head of analysis, Asia Pacific, Knight Frank
