Business park spot rents predicted to moderate by 3% in 2014

Landlords stuck under pressure.

According to DBS, notwithstanding that new supply is supported by relatively high pre-commitment levels in the immediate term, it believes that landlords are still likely to face pressure, given that high sector-wide vacancy is close to 20%.

DBS noted that landlords of older business park properties are likely to feel the pressure due to the competition from newer buildings, which means that some might have to invest in capex or reduce rents to attract tenants. Hence, it expects asking rentals to soften by 3%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
