Business park rents grow 2.1% in 1Q24

Rents, however, may soften amidst elevated vacancies.

Business park rents recorded their fastest growth since 2Q17 in 1Q24, increasing by 2.1% QoQ.

In a report, Colliers attributed the pace of increase to newer and better-located business parks. 

Colliers, however, said there could be a softening of rents as vacancy remains elevated, especially in the outlying and older business parks,

With higher vacancies, the occupancy rate in 1Q24 declined 40bps to 78% 

"Overall, demand for business park spaces remained muted, with more renewals and occupiers right-sizing," Colliers said.

Colliers, however, believes leasing activity may pick up with new supply coming on stream in the later part of the year.

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.
