Chart of the Day: 60-year leasehold industrial property prices eked out a 1.1% rise to $474psf

What could have caused this?

Although the market lost the buying fervour, prices of industrial properties tracked by Savills experienced only minor corrections in Q3/2013. 

Freehold and 30-year leasehold prices slipped by 0.8% and 1.1% QoQ to S$671 and S$363 per sq ft respectively, whereas 60-year leasehold properties still managed to eke out an increase of 1.1%, from S$469 to S$474 per sq ft QoQ.

"Despite a sharp drop in transaction volumes, prices managed to hold up well, indicating that sellers were maintaining their asking prices and were under no pressure to slash prices in order to sell," Savills said.

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.
