Industry Brief: Due to Singapore’s relatively small geographic size, businesses and government entities have learned to be especially adept at efficiently navigating the island city-state’s property sector.  Singapore’s robust tourism industry, along with its role as a regional business hub for thousands of multinational companies, makes its finite development space highly sought after. In order to resourcefully accommodate the property demand for people visiting, working and living in Singapore, the government established the Urban Redevelopment Authority in 1974 to ensure the best use of the country’s limited land resources. It is tasked with urban planning and the conservation and proper use of heritage areas.
