In Singapore, S-Reits (Real Estate Investment Trusts) have maintained a strong fundraising momentum in 2026, building on the successful pattern from 2025. During the period ending September 10, S-Reits raised a total of at least S$4.5 billion through equity fundraising exercises (EFR), which is a notable increase compared to the same period in 2025, marking the strongest year since 2021 for both primary and secondary fundraising.
UI Boustead Reit's initial public offering (IPO) in March led the 2026 fundraising efforts, raising over S$1 billion, which saw strong demand from both institutional and retail investors, being subscribed 3.3 times. In the secondary market, larger S-Reits have dominated the fundraising, primarily employing the proceeds to bolster their portfolio scale and market positioning through acquisitions.
For example, in January 2026, Keppel Reit raised S$886 million via a preferential offering, which was used to acquire an additional one-third interest in Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3, resulting in a significant increase in its portfolio value and market exposure in Singapore.
