Three numbers frame Singapore's property investment market as Knight Frank Singapore closes out its third-quarter review: $10.7 billion transacted in 3Q2026, a cumulative $42.4 billion in 2026 up to the report, and a projected $50 billion by year-end. The quarterly figure is a step down from $16.2 billion in the first quarter and $15.5 billion in the second, yet the running total already clears the $40.7 billion record set across all of 2025, and the gap between the two full-year figures is itself a number worth sitting with: close to $1.7 billion of extra activity compared with last year's record pace, even before the final quarter is counted.
Melvin Chay, Knight Frank Singapore's interim head of capital markets, points to a full year near $50 billion as the likely outcome, which would stand as a new all-time high for the market and would mean roughly $7.6 billion more transacting in the final quarter than had been recorded by the third-quarter cut-off. He adds that the chance of higher interest rates could bring some deals forward, closing before the year is out rather than carrying into 2027, a detail that turns a market-wide figure into a very specific timing question for anyone close to a decision.
$2 billion. That is the industrial total for the third quarter, more than double the prior quarter's figure, driven in large part by JTC's own land programme. Three Business 2 sites were awarded during the period: Jalan Buroh at $214.4 million, Kaki Bukit at $52.8 million and 5 Tuas Avenue at $43.4 million, alongside two worker-dormitory sites at Kranji Close ($343 million) and Lok Yang Way ($221.7 million). Added together, the five awards total more than $875 million of fresh industrial-linked land commitment in a single quarter, a figure that puts the scale of institutional interest in industrial land into sharper relief for anyone comparing it with a single strata-unit purchase.
Five industrial canteens serving a single 54-unit production block is a notably high ratio by multi-user factory standards, a detail that speaks to how the building has been laid out for multiple occupiers operating side by side rather than a single large tenant. A buyer comparing new-launch Business 1 developments can use that ratio, alongside the quarter's land-award figures, as one more data point when sizing up how a building has been designed for day-to-day occupier use.
Generations @ Tannery at 71 Tannery Lane is a freehold Business 1 multi-user development with 54 production units and five industrial canteens over 12 storeys, on a site of 3,150.10 sqm, developed by Providence Estates (Tannery) Pte Ltd under the Providence Group. Its ramp-up and lift-served design is intended to suit a range of production and light-manufacturing uses within the same building. The site logged its latest unit sale on 17 July 2026, with an expected top-out in the first quarter of 2029, vacant possession targeted for 31 December 2030 and legal completion to follow on 31 December 2033. Full specifications sit on the project details page, the Generations @ Tannery homepage carries the overview, and the Sales Concierge can be reached through the contact page for unit-level questions.
