SG60: Mid-life Doubts or Rejuvenated Maturity?
Thank you for participating in the CBRE Singapore Symposium 2025!
As Singapore celebrates 60 years of independence, its commercial real estate sector stands at a defining moment—poised between transformation and tradition. The outlook for 2025 is one of cautious optimism, shaped by global economic shifts, evolving investor and occupier priorities, and the relentless pace of innovation.
At the CBRE Singapore Symposium 2025, an exclusive by-invitation-only gathering, we bring together industry leaders, investors, occupiers, and professionals to explore whether the market is facing a mid-life reckoning or entering a new era of strategic maturity. Join us as we examine the forces reshaping our built environment and what SG60 means for the future of real estate in the Lion City.
