Mainland Chinese firms became the second-biggest investors in Singapore's property and overall sectors in 2025, accounting for 21 percent of total fixed-asset investment across all sectors, a sharp rise from 2.5 percent the previous year [1]. The total fixed-asset investment in Singapore that year reached S$14.16 billion (US$11.07 billion) [1].
Europe led investors with around 25 percent of the total share in Singapore, while the United States fell to third place with 17.3 percent, down from 55.5 percent a year earlier [1]. Chinese-linked developers and business entities became notably more active in Singapore’s property market throughout 2025 [1].
Savills Singapore’s Alan Cheong said that Chinese developers experienced in Singapore "are now familiar with the rules, regulations and market behaviour, and are expected to continue bidding to replenish their landbanks" [1].
Key property transactions by China-linked firms included acquisitions across multiple prime sites in Singapore. At the end of the first quarter of 2025, CNQC Realty (Prime), Forsea Residence and Jianan Realty Investments bought a nearly 145,500 sq ft lot on Dover Drive for S$951 million [1]. In April, Kingsford Group secured a 222,161 sq ft plot named Lentor Gardens in the Lentor Hills estate for S$429.23 million [1].
SingHaiyi Group and Haiyi Holdings acquired a Bayshore Road parcel for S$658.9 million in March 2025 [1]. A consortium including Qingjian Realty, Forsea Residence and Hoovasun Holding paid S$315 million for Media Circle (Parcel A) in March [1]. Kingsford Group also purchased a 147,350 sq ft plot on Telok Blangah Road for S$918.3 million in November 2025 [1].
These transactions reflect a sustained push by Chinese developers to replenish landbanks in key locations across the city-state [1].
No further major investment figures or transactions have been reported beyond November 2025.
