Commercial real estate investments in Asia Pacific (Apac) reached US$105 billion (around $135 billion) in the first six months of the year, marking the strongest first half since 2022, when US$123 billion in deals were recorded, according to Colliers.

The figure is also “well clear of the 2023 to 2025 trough”, the company noted in its Asia Pacific Capital Markets Snapshot H1 2026 report, published in August. The region recorded first-half estate investments of US$85 billion, US$87 billion and US$85 billion in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

The stronger performance this year comes amid a turning point in Apac, with investors showing increasing confidence in the region, notes Theo Novak, Colliers’ managing director for Apac capital markets. “Capital remains active in the region and is increasingly being deployed back into traditional sectors such as office, retail and industrial, while investors continue to target structural growth themes including data centres,” he adds.

China and Japan were the largest contributors to 1H2026 Apac deals, clocking transaction volumes of US$27.5 billion and US$25.3 billion, respectively. Colliers also highlights Singapore as a standout performer, with US$14.1 billion worth of deals transacted — already surpassing its full-year total of US$11.6 billion for 2025.

“Selling intentions [in Singapore] have increased as more asset owners look to capitalise on improved market liquidity and a lower interest rate environment,” says Terry Wong, Colliers’ head of capital markets and investment services for Singapore.

While activity in China was predominantly driven by local players, other key markets, including Singapore, Japan and Australia, attracted significant international capital as investors sought exposure to stable and transparent markets.

As a result, cross-border capital accounted for a larger proportion of 1H2026 transaction activity. Overseas buyers made up 35.9% of acquisitions during the first six months of the year, compared to 26% over the same period in 2023. Cross-border buyers also exceeded cross-border sellers in 1H2026, indicating global capital as a net buyer of Apac real estate.

Across the region, the office segment garnered the largest transaction volume in 1H2026, with US$40.2 billion worth of deals, followed by retail assets (US$26.7 billion) and industrial assets (US$22.8 billion). Meanwhile, data centres drew US$6.7 billion in capital over the first half of the year.

Colliers expects transaction activity to stay resilient in the second half of the year. “Looking into 2H2026, confidence is expected to remain supported by improving liquidity, returning cross-border capital and continued demand for sectors aligned with long-term structural growth,” the report stated.

### Colliers：亚太区 2026 年上半年房地产投资达 1,050 亿美元，市场来到转折点

亚太区房地产投资市场录得自 2022 年以来最强劲的上半年表现，当时成交额为 1,230 亿美元。

根据 Colliers 的数据，今年前六个月，亚太区（Apac）商业房地产投资达到 1,050 亿美元（约 1,350 亿新元），为 2022 年以来最强劲的上半年表现，当时录得 1,230 亿美元交易额。

该公司在 8 月发布的 Asia Pacific Capital Markets Snapshot H1 2026 报告中指出，这一数字也“明显高于 2023 至 2025 年的低谷”。该地区在 2023 年、2024 年和 2025 年上半年分别录得 850 亿美元、870 亿美元和 850 亿美元的房地产投资。

Colliers 亚太资本市场董事总经理 Theo Novak 指出，今年表现更强，正值亚太区迎来转折点，投资者对该地区的信心日益增强。他补充说：“资本在该地区仍然活跃，并且越来越多地重新部署到办公室、零售和工业等传统领域，同时投资者继续瞄准包括数据中心在内的结构性增长主题。”

中国和日本是 2026 年上半年亚太区交易的最大贡献者，交易额分别为 275 亿美元和 253 亿美元。Colliers 还强调新加坡是表现突出的市场，完成了价值 141 亿美元的交易，已经超过其 2025 年全年 116 亿美元的总额。

Colliers 新加坡资本市场与投资服务主管 Terry Wong 表示：“随着更多资产所有者希望利用市场流动性改善和利率环境较低的机会，[新加坡的]出售意向有所增加。”

尽管中国的活动主要由本地参与者推动，但包括新加坡、日本和澳大利亚在内的其他主要市场吸引了大量国际资本，因为投资者寻求进入稳定且透明的市场。

因此，跨境资本在 2026 年上半年交易活动中占比更高。今年前六个月，海外买家占收购的 35.9%，而 2023 年同期为 26%。2026 年上半年，跨境买家也超过跨境卖家，显示全球资本是亚太房地产的净买家。

在整个地区，办公室板块在 2026 年上半年获得最大交易量，交易额为 402 亿美元，其次是零售资产（267 亿美元）和工业资产（228 亿美元）。与此同时，数据中心在今年上半年吸引了 67 亿美元资本。

Colliers 预计，下半年交易活动将保持韧性。报告称：“展望 2026 年下半年，信心预计将继续受到流动性改善、跨境资本回归，以及与长期结构性增长相一致的行业需求持续的支撑。”
