Exploring Singapore's Outbound Capital into Japan's Real Estate
Singapore's outbound capital into Japan's real estate market is driven by Japan's stability, deep liquidity, and favorable investment environment, characterized by high occupancy rates in major cities and low interest rates maintained by the Bank of Japan. Singaporean investors are increasingly expanding their focus from Tokyo to secondary cities, capitalizing on the promising growth of multifamily rental properties and a robust rental culture.
