24 July 2025 – The REDAS Real Estate Market Outlook (REMO) Seminar 2025, our flagship annual event, brought together business leaders, policymakers and industry professionals to chart the path forward for Singapore’s built environment. Themed around resilience, adaptability and long-term growth, the seminar offered fresh perspectives on the macroeconomic shifts and sectoral trends shaping the future of real estate.
The seminar opened with a welcome address by REDAS President Mr Tan Swee Yiow, followed by a keynote from Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Finance and National Development. Their messages underscored the importance of foresight and collaboration in keeping Singapore’s real estate sector competitive and future-ready.
Macroeconomic Perspectives
Dr Taimur Baig and Mr Michael Tay provided a sharp analysis of macroeconomic conditions, capital flows and the evolving investment landscape. Their insights grounded participants in current realities while pointing to shifts that will influence capital deployment, investor confidence and sectoral performance.
Real Estate SG60: Looking Back, Moving Forward
The first half of the seminar culminated in a high-level panel, Real Estate SG60, moderated by Dr Chua Yang Liang. Panellists Dr Cheong Koon Hean, Mr Chia Ngiang Hong, Mr Michael Tay, Dr Steven Choo and Dr Taimur Baig reflected on Singapore’s real estate journey and debated what it will take to build a more resilient and sustainable city for the next generation.
Market Outlooks and Business Sustainability
The afternoon sustained momentum with presentations from Mr Alan Cheong and Mr Leonard T., who unpacked market data and outlooks across commercial, industrial and residential sectors.
This set the stage for two dynamic panels on Business Sustainability. The first, moderated by Professor Khee Poh Lam, explored how developers are rethinking business models in response to climate imperatives and ESG demands. The second, moderated by Ms Yvonne Tan, examined strategies for regenerative growth, resilient supply chains and adaptive practices amid a shifting geopolitical context.
Closing Reflections
As REMO 2025 drew to a close, the message was clear: the real estate sector must continue adapting to global shifts while staying anchored in Singapore’s long-term growth story. REDAS thanks our Guest-of-Honour, speakers, panellists and participants for shaping another successful edition of REMO.
