Property shocker: Prices of retail units on a psf basis nearly tripled between 2009 and 2012

But size of the units shrank significantly.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, between 2009 and 2012, the size of retail units transacted shrank significantly whereas prices on a psf basis nearly tripled in some areas such as Bedok.

"And while prices in Downtown Core and Geylang appear to have stabilised, they seem to be on a steady increase in Novena and Kallang. Looking ahead, as the population rises in the Outer Central Region (OCR), the demand for retail units will inevitably increase."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
