in Kuala Lumpur
Despite facing economic obstacles around the world, real estate investments in the Asia Pacific (Apac) region have managed to maintain their strength, according to Colliers. In its Global Capital Flows September 2025 report, the real estate services and investment management firm reveals that Apac has seen a slight increase of 5% in investment activity during the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year.
The resilience of Apac’s real estate market can be attributed to the continued success of land sales and new developments within the region. Colliers notes that seven Apac countries, including Australia, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Japan, have dominated the top ten global rankings for cross-border investments in land and development sites. Australia leads the pack with US$1.022 billion ($1.28 billion) in investments, followed by Singapore with US$981 million, India with US$808 million, Malaysia with US$606 million, Hong Kong with US$500 million, and Japan with US$404 million.

Notably, Australia and Japan were the only two Apac countries to be listed among the top ten global capital destinations for all asset classes. However, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong have emerged among the top ten cross-border capital sources worldwide, highlighting the region’s growing role in outbound investments.
Singapore, in particular, has held its position as the fourth-largest global capital source, contributing over US$7.9 billion in cross-border investments in the first half of 2025. The majority of this investment went into industrial assets (US$2.9 billion), followed by office (US$2.41 billion) and retail (US$1.45 billion) assets. Bastiaan VB, Managing Director for Singapore at Colliers, credits the country’s strength as a capital source and a desirable investment destination.
According to Colliers, in the second quarter of 2025, the multifamily sector was the most active globally, with a majority of investments taking place in North America. The industrial sector also maintained its position as the second most active investment sector, both globally and within regions. However, there has been an increase in office investment activity, particularly in Apac and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions, where the segment has reclaimed its top spot in terms of investment over the past 24 months. The retail and hospitality sectors have also remained relatively stable over the last two quarters.
Colliers’ International Capital Lead, Lucy Mallick, believes that shifts in sectoral investments and ongoing fundraising efforts, driven by changing priorities among investors, have played a significant role in maintaining Apac’s resilience amidst a generally subdued global capital market. Looking ahead, Mallick expects capital flows to pick up in late 2025 as inflation subsides and interest rates decrease. Furthermore, the appointment of Patrick Gidney as Senior Director of Occupier Services in Kuala Lumpur and Publicis Groupe’s recent 55,000 sq ft lease at Guoco Midtown office tower serve as positive indicators for the region’s real estate market.
