We are pleased to announce the release of Real Estate Talent Insights 2025, a whitepaper informed by survey results from more than 100 leaders in real estate investment and development, fund management, real estate services, architecture, academia, and the public sector.
A joint initiative by the Urban Land Institute, the National University of Singapore, and Kerry Consulting, this survey offers practical insights into Singapore’s real estate talent market, highlighting both present realities and future hiring opportunities.
Inside, you will find:
The growing demand for multi-disciplinary skills among experienced hires – 67% of employers identified these as the biggest gap, with training and upskilling emerging as the most critical retention strategies.
Expectations for fresh graduates entering the industry – employers emphasise strong soft skills such as analytical thinking, communication, and digital literacy, while also expecting candidates to demonstrate genuine market knowledge gained through internships and academic choices.
Future hiring priorities and emerging needs – investment, asset management, capital markets, and sustainability remain in focus, while data analytics, AI, and automation are becoming essential capabilities across the sector.
The findings reveal how organisations can better attract, develop, and retain talent at all levels, while also adapting to shifting skill requirements and global uncertainty.
