Strong Growth in Asia-Pacific Data Center and Logistics Financing Highlights Singapore’s Investment Appeal

(October 7, 2025, Singapore) — Real estate and infrastructure investment activity across the Asia-Pacific region has seen a notable rebound in 2025. According to the latest joint report by financial services provider Vistra and the Asia Pacific Real Estate Association (APREA), Asia-focused real estate investment funds raised a total of USD 10.5 billion (approximately SGD 13.5 billion) in the first half of the year. Data centers and logistics assets emerged as key investment focal points, reflecting strong market demand for digital infrastructure and upgraded supply chains.

 

The report notes that data center financing in the Asia-Pacific region reached USD 1.1 billion (approximately SGD 1.4 billion) in Q2, a sixfold increase compared to the same period last year. At the same time, logistics investment continued to recover, driven by a resurgence in manufacturing and e-commerce activity.

 

Among regional markets, Singapore stood out prominently. The report highlights that Singapore has become the most active market in the Asia-Pacific region for logistics, with investment inquiries and site visits significantly exceeding those of other markets this year. A stable financial system, transparent regulatory environment, and a well-developed professional services ecosystem have positioned Singapore as a key hub for global investors seeking to deploy capital across the Asia-Pacific region.

The report also notes that Singapore’s real assets are attracting increased interest from private capital and family offices. Demand has grown for high-quality retail, hospitality, and logistics assets, while office rent growth remains moderate. Despite Singapore’s overall economic growth lagging the Asia-Pacific average, investor confidence remains strong, supported by robust financial oversight and efficient capital markets.

 

As cross-border investment and fund establishment activities increase, professional financial and corporate service providers play an increasingly important role in facilitating regional capital flows. Headquartered in Singapore, Fortune Consultancy (Fuzhilin) is dedicated to providing comprehensive services for enterprises and high-net-worth clients, including family office setup, fund structuring, tax planning, and accounting advisory. With extensive experience across the Asia-Pacific region, the firm assists clients in fund establishment, family office registration, corporate structuring, and tax compliance. Fortune Consultancy also provides cross-border fund and tax planning support, helping clients establish a stable presence in Singapore and achieve sustainable, long-term growth of their assets.

 

The survey results indicate that, while investor sentiment is generally optimistic, caution remains regarding macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. Approximately 39% of respondents reported a “neutral” outlook, while 36% were “slightly optimistic,” reflecting a steady recovery in the regional real estate market. Looking ahead, Asia-Pacific commercial real estate transaction volumes are projected to increase by 5–10% year-on-year in 2025, with Singapore, South Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong expected to drive the majority of growth.
