Chart of the Day: Vacancy rate for business parks grew to 16.8% in Q4

This was due to inability of demand to keep up with new completed projects.

A chart from CBRE indicated that the vacancy rate of business parks islandwide went up to 16.8% in the fourth quarter of 2022 from 14.2% in the previous quarter.

Supply pressures impacted the segment, recording a positive net absorption of 0.31 mil sq ft. The demand for this property segment did not keep pace with the supply as newly completed projects emerged such as the Perennial Business City.

Despite the increase in vacancy, business parks were still resilient, according to CBRE.

The 2022 net absorption remained at 0.49 mil sq ft., which fell 20.8% compared to the net absorption last year.

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.
