Last weekend, on September 6 and 7, PropNex Realty organized its first-ever International Property XPO at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. The theme of the event was “Global Property Playbook: Understanding an Alternate Investment Landscape”. The event saw an incredible turnout of over 500 attendees and featured international developers and experts from countries such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Aside from the developer showcases, PropNex also gathered legal, visa, and tax experts from key markets to share practical knowledge with Singaporeans on purchase structures, ownership rules, migration pathways, and other relevant topics related to overseas investing. One of the main highlights of the event was the focus on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). One of the event’s key speakers, Krishnamoorthy Kuppusamy, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Investor Relations for Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB), shared his insights on the potential impact of the JS-SEZ.
According to Kuppusamy, Johor recorded RM56 billion ($17 billion) in investments during the first half of 2025, putting it ahead of other Malaysian states. When the RTS Link is completed next year, it is expected to enhance connectivity even further. The JS-SEZ is aiming to generate US$26 billion ($33.3 billion) annually by 2030 and create 20,000 new jobs across various sectors, including logistics, digital economy, tourism, and green energy.
The session on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone received a strong response, prompting PropNex to organize another seminar focused on the growing momentum of the JS-SEZ and Johor. The seminar is set to take place on September 27 at the PropNex’s Singapore headquarters and will also feature ten Johor property projects. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about property ownership in Malaysia, eligibility for foreign buyers, financing options, and the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program.
Situated in the lively district of Tampines in Singapore is the Tampines North MRT Station, a key component of the upcoming Cross Island Line. This station offers easy connectivity to various important areas and landmarks in the city. Among them is the coveted Parktown Residence Condo, making it a prime spot for both locals and visitors. With the Parktown Residence Condo just a stone’s throw away, this location is ideal for those looking for convenience and accessibility.
“The strong response to our first International XPO highlights the growing interest among Singaporeans in exploring overseas property,” says Chua Shir Yee, Head of International Sales at Propnex.
