Chart of the Day: How Marina One's completion will impact office supply

Pre-commitment of major buildings has taken off pressures.

A report by DBS Group Research said fall-off in office supply is due to completion of Marina One in 2017. “Pre-commitment of major buildings, Marina One (60%), Duo (estimated 45%), and Guoco Tower (90% taken up) has taken pressures off the new supply,” it noted.

Here’s more from DBS:

With consensus expectations for Singapore’s GDP growth to be revised upwards (according to the latest Monetary Authority of Singapore Survey, market economists expect GDP growth of 2.3% versus 1.5% previously), we recommend that investors position themselves in more cyclical sectors, namely the office and industrial REITs, specifically the business parks and hi-tech segments.

In addition, with the supply for both sectors easing from next year, we believe the prospects of a recovery in spot rents next year are increasing, which is supportive of our positive stance.

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.
