New Delhi, Aug 25

London, New York and Singapore are among key markets for Indian investors as luxury rental growth across 16 world cities averaged 3.5 per cent in Q2 2025, signalling a modest recovery after last year’s slowdown, according to a report on Monday.

For Indian investors, prime rental markets such as London, New York, Singapore, and Sydney, remain firmly on the radar.

Construction shortfall across key cities began to bite in terms of supply, and the return to office trend has supported rental demand, especially in gateway markets across the world, according to Knight Frank’s latest Prime Global Rental Index.

Hong Kong (8.6 per cent) and Tokyo (8.3 per cent) recorded the fastest annual rental growth as New York (6.9 per cent) saw strong gains, with a significant 6.6 per cent quarterly rise.

European hubs like Berlin (4.9 per cent) and Frankfurt (4.7 per cent) maintained steady growth. London (1.5 per cent) and Singapore (1.5 per cent), while lower on the index, continue to show resilience, supported by international demand and constrained new supply.
