Chart of the Day: Office rental momentum to stutter in 2H15 as landlords offer inventory

1H15 will be a period of improvement.

Most of the upward rental trajectory has already been priced in.

According to a report by CIMB, rents will continue to improve in early 2015, with little new incoming supply. However, pricing ability in 2015 would be more moderate than in 2104.

CIMB thinks that rental growth is likely to come under pressure in 2H15 onwards, as landlords start to market the huge incoming supply of 3.9m sq ft in 2016 (equivalent to 2-3 years’ supply) more actively.

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.
