\nSingapore ranked second preferred city for cross-border investmentsAside from being an important hub for foreign corporations eyeing to access Southeast Asia, Singapore is also emerging as a viable alternative to Hong Kong SAR among firms establishing Asia Pacific headquarters.
\nSingapore is listed as the second most preferred city for cross-border investment in CBRE\u2019s 2021 Asia Pacific Investor Intentions Survey.
\nConducted in November and December 2020, the survey polled over 490 Asia Pacific-based investors.
\n\u201cSingapore remains an important hub for foreign corporations looking to access Southeast Asia,\u201d said Desmond Sim, Head of Research for Southeast Asia at CBRE.
\n\u201cAlthough CBD rents declined in 2020, rents are forecast to display growth over the next three years, supported by low vacancy and strong demand. In fact, we expect office demand in 2021 to be fuelled by Chinese technology firms and non-bank financial services firms such as investment managers and hedge funds.\u201d

\n\u201cThe recent commencement of vaccination programmes in several countries around the world has further boosted market confidence,\u201d said CBRE.

\nLogistics emerged as the most popular sector for investment as the pandemic accelerated e-commerce consumption, boosting demand for this asset class.
\nData centres also received stronger interest on the back of a surge in demand for video conferencing and other platforms to support remote working, leading to increased requirement for data storage.
\nThe survey also noted a growing number of investors adopting Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) criteria in their investments.
\n\u201cNearly half of respondents, most of which came from Singapore, Australia and western markets, stated that they had already adopted ESG criteria in their investment strategies,\u201d said CBRE.
