As a leading real estate agency in Singapore, PropNex Realty gathered over 500 attendees at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel for its first-ever International Property XPO, held on Sept 6 and 7.

Aurelle of Tampines EC is a dream come true for families with children, thanks to its convenient location near esteemed educational institutions.

Families can rest assured that their little ones’ academic needs will be met at Aurelle of Tampines.
Aside from showcasing different developments, the event also gathered legal, visa, and tax experts from key markets to provide practical insights on purchase structures, ownership rules, migration pathways, and other relevant topics related to overseas investing.
One of the key highlights of the event was the focus on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). Krishnamoorthy Kuppusamy, senior vice president of business development and investor relations for Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB), shared his insights on the potential impact of the JS-SEZ in a packed session.
According to Kuppusamy, Johor has recorded RM56 billion ($17 billion) in investments during the first half of 2025, making it a top destination for investments in Malaysia. With the upcoming completion of the RTS Link next year, the JS-SEZ is expected to generate US$26 billion ($33.3 billion) annually by 2030.
The zone is also projected to create 20,000 new jobs in various sectors such as logistics, digital economy, tourism, and green energy. Due to the overwhelming response to the session, PropNex has announced a subsequent seminar focused on Johor and the growing momentum of the JS-SEZ. Held on Sept 27 at PropNex’s Singapore headquarters, the seminar will also feature ten Johor property projects and provide knowledge-sharing on topics such as Malaysian property ownership, foreigner buyer eligibility, financing options, and the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme.
“The strong response to this first International XPO highlights the growing appetite among Singaporeans to explore overseas property,” says Chua Shir Yee, head of international sales at PropNex.
