Chart of the Day: Industrial investment sales up 12% to $681m in Q3

This was driven by Keppel DC REIT’s acquisition of two data centres.

This chart from Colliers International shows that Singapore’s industrial investment sales climbed 12% QoQ to $681m in Q3, mainly driven by Keppel DC REIT’s acquisition of two data centres.

The nine-month tally remained modest at $1.8b. However, Colliers forecasts industrial sales to increase by 30% YoY for the full year of 2019, to be driven by big-ticket transactions by REITs and industrialists.

“We expect more industrial assets to transacted by REITs in Q4 and beyond,” the report said. “As the underlying leasing market stabilises beyond 2020, total industrial sales could rise on average 15% per annum in 2018-2023.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
