Chart of the Day: Check out the top retail property transactions in Q3

Weak market sentiment has made investors selective in their acquisitions.

This chart from JLL Singapore shows the top three property transactions in Q3, led by the changing of ownership of 313@Somerset from Lendlease to Lendlease Global Commercial REIT for $1b.

The next two biggest transactions both did not hit $100m: the $86.7m transaction for 6.67% interest in Waterway Point, and the $32.2m purchase of 39/45 Boat Quay.

Consumer sentiment remained lackluster in Q3, reflected by retail sales contracting for the seventh-straight month in August. Whilst this did not dampen investors’ sentiment, JLL observed that they have become selective in their acquisitions.

In view of the dampened retail market sentiment, retailers are expected to exercise great caution on expansion plans which will pull on rent growth prospects, said JLL. However, yields are expected to remain stable in the near term.

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.
