Published 6 September 2026 · Covers news from 5 Sept to 6 Sept
Cushman & Wakefield projects over US$33 billion in Asia-Pacific rental housing investment over five years, with Singapore named as a key market, while state land in Toa Payoh and Hougang is being made available for eldercare use on short leases. Separately, freehold commercial listings and sub-$2.5M four-bedroom condos round out today's buyer-relevant developments.
- Cushman & Wakefield researchers project more than US$33 billion flowing into Asia-Pacific's 'Living' sector over the next five years, citing rising student housing demand across Japan, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea as a primary driver — the report flags Singapore specifically as one of the markets expected to attract this capital [4].
- The Singapore Land Authority is offering two former state properties in Toa Payoh and Hougang for rent as eldercare facilities, with tenancies capped at up to nine years; the move is part of a broader plan to expand nursing home capacity to 31,000 beds by 2030 [1].
- A freehold strata shop at Nomu is listed at $6 million with signage rights attached, alongside a $16.8 million conservation shophouse on North Canal Road — both are flagged in the context of tightening freehold commercial supply in the city centre [2].
- Stacked Homes highlights five 4-bedroom condos in the city fringe priced under $2.5 million, covering locations including Boon Keng, Bishan, Marine Terrace and Ang Mo Kio — the roundup is aimed at buyers seeking larger layouts without crossing into core central region pricing [5].
- According to 99.co, a Multi-Generation flat in Yishun transacted at S$1.212 million, reported as Singapore's second-highest recorded sale for that flat type — signalling continued price pressure even in the HDB resale segment for larger, specialised unit categories [6].
