Chart of the Day: Warehouse supply in Singapore predicted to jump 19%

15.1m sqft will be completed.

According to Barclays, the Singapore government manages the supply of land through its Government Land Sales Programme (GLS).

This programme is implemented with the help of agents including JTC, URA, SLA and HDB. JTC, established in 1968, primarily releases industrial land by a public tender using the Confirmed or the Reserved list.

Here's more from Barclays:

The objective of the programme is to meet the private sector’s demand for properties, which are usually available on a 15- to 99-year lease (based on the type of property). 
JTC also offers prepared industrial land sites usually with 30 year lease tenure under the Open Land Application Scheme (OLAS) on a quarterly basis.

CBRE estimates 43.2mn sqft of new factory space to be completed between 2Q13 and 4Q16, adding 14% to current stock of 346.1mn sqft. Of this supply, 33.3mn sqft (77%) is currently under construction, and of this, 41% is multiple-user factory. 

15.1mn sqft of warehouse space will be completed between now and end-2015, adding 19% to current stock of 79.7mn sqft. 

North Spring Bizhub (GFA of 1.25mn sqft) and Mapletree Benoi Logistics Hub (1mn sqft) are major developments expected to be completed in 2013.

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.
