Mumbai and New Delhi have become two of the most preferred cities for real estate investment in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, as per CBRE’s 2025 Asia-Pacific Investor Intentions Survey.

Mumbai ranked 5th, after Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, and Ho Chi Minh City, while New Delhi tied for 8th place with Seoul, Osaka, and Hanoi.

The survey found that more than half of investors in APAC plan to increase their investments in 2025. In India, net buying intentions rose to 3%, driven by developers, real estate funds, and institutional investors.

India’s real estate market is booming, with strong demand for office spaces, homes, industrial properties, and data centers. In 2024, equity investment in Indian real estate hit an all-time high of $11.4 billion, up 54% from 2023. Singapore, the US, and Canada contributed over 25% of these investments, with Singapore alone making up 36%.

Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO of CBRE India, said, “India’s real estate market hit a record high in 2024. Foreign investments and growing interest across asset classes show India’s rising global importance.”

Investors in Mumbai and New Delhi are looking at office spaces, residential projects, and data centers. Many are also focusing on value-add opportunities and sustainable (green) building projects. About 56% of investors prefer green buildings, while 46% want to upgrade existing properties to be more eco-friendly.

Tokyo remains the top city for real estate investment in APAC, followed by Sydney and Singapore. Sydney is popular for high returns, and Singapore for its stability.

In 2025, overall interest in APAC real estate is rising due to falling debt costs and better pricing. Industrial properties are the most popular, while office and data center projects are also gaining attention.

With record-breaking investments and growing global interest, Mumbai and New Delhi are cementing their positions as key real estate hubs in the APAC region.
