Chart of the Day: Capital values of industrial space to edge up by 2-3.5%

Still a slower pace of growth.

According to Colliers International, going forward, after the initial knee-jerk reaction to the cooling measure in 1Q 2013, the strata-titled industrial sales market is expected to see continued support from end-users and investors with a longer investment horizon.

However, prospective buyers are expected to be more price-sensitive. The average capital values of prime freehold conventional industrial premises are thus forecast to rise at a slower pace of about 2% to 3.5% for the whole of 2013, compared to 2012’s 10% to 22% rise.

Here's more from Colliers:

Industrial rents are expected to stay relatively stable with some marginal upside potential for the rest of 2013. For the entire year, industrial rents are forecast to rise by up to 2% for prime conventional industrial premises, and by around 4% to 4.5% for high-specs and business park space.

The average monthly gross rents for both prime conventional factories and warehouses recorded marginal growth of 0.4% QoQ for ground-level space and 0.5% QoQ for upper-level space in 1Q 2013, which is slower than the 0.9% to 2.0% rise chalked up for the preceding quarter.

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.
