Retail investment sales ballooned 39.7% to $695m in H1 2018 from US$509m in H2 2017, Colliers International revealed.

“This is a robust continuation from full-year 2017 which saw the decade’s highest annual transaction volume, boosted by the $2.2b sale of Jurong Point,” the firm commented.

They added that the cooling measures imposed on the residential property market could likely maintain the rise in investor interest towards the commercial sector which includes retail properties.
