Chart of the Day: See the slump in Singapore’s factory and warehouse leasing in 3Q

Tenants prefer to renew.

Factories and warehouses remain in a steady state as activity in the industrial leasing market slowed in Q3/2014.

According to a report by Savills, the reviewed quarter saw a 3.2% QoQ decline and is now at Q3/2013 levels with a total of 2,060 deals. The YoY growth is relatively slow as compared to the historical YoY growth for the third quarter in the past four years, averaging at 24.6% per year.

Savills adds that the tepid market is a result of the slowdown in the global economy and also the restructuring of the labour market. Tenancy renewals continue to dominate the market.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
