Asia-Pacific real estate investment has increased by 19.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) for Q1 FY26.

According to Savills, this rise was led by prime office investment, which rose by 27.5% y-o-y mainly centred in cities such as Tokyo and Singapore, where there was rental growth. Industrial and logistics assets also played a key role as demand for AI infrastructure such as data centres, AI-related manufacturing as well as semiconductor exports in Taiwan, Japan, India and Malaysia.

Neil Brookes, Executive Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific Capital Markets at Savills, said, “Asia Pacific entered 2026 amid elevated geopolitical risk, yet capital deployment remains active. He added that, “The recovery in prime offices, combined with durable demand for industrial and logistics assets, points to a more selective but constructive investment environment.”

Anurag Mathur, CEO, Savills India, added, “India continues to stand out as a high-conviction market within Asia Pacific, driven by strong demand for industrial and logistics assets, rapid data centre expansion and sustained infrastructure-led growth. As global capital becomes more selective, India’s long-term fundamentals and occupier demand continue to attract investor interest across core and emerging asset classes.”

The company is building on the momentum seen at the end of 2025 when the company recorded a three-year high in real estate investments in the Asia-Pacific market, with investments increasing by 8.7% YoY driven by Australia and South Korea.
