Chart of the Day: Industrial supply pipeline 40-50% lower than past years' averages

There are approximately 7.6 million sqft per annum in the pipeline until 2022.

This chart from Edmund Tie and Co. reveals that there are approximately 26.7million sqft net lettable area (NLA) or 7.6 million sqft per annum in the supply pipeline until 2022, about 40-50% lower than the past 3- and 5-year averages.

There are a total of seven data centres (DC) in the pipeline, totalling 2.6m sqft. DC provider Digital Realty Trust has unveiled plans to develop their third DC, whilst Google and STT GDC are constructing their third and seventh DCs in Singapore, respectively⁠—reflecting strong demand for the sector as businesses undergo digital transformation.

Meanwhile, although there are six business park developments in the pipeline of circa 1.4 million sqft, most of these are either owner-occupied or have been largely pre-committed. The largest of these is Surbana Jurong’s new global HQ and Campus at the Jurong Innovation District, which come at approximately 400,000 sqft.

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.
