Commercial and hotel investment sales in Singapore crashed 50% to $3.7b

Big time deals missed in 1H.

According to Knight Frank, commercial and hotel investment sales in 1H 2013 comprised smaller bitesized deals which totalled about $3.7 billion.

This is substantially smaller than $7.4billion achieved in the latter half of 2012, where large investment transactions exceeding $1 billion were recorded, such as the $2.1 billion investment from the flotation of Far East Hospitality Trust and the $1.1 billion investment deal from the increased NTUC Income’s stake in Parkway Parade.

Despite the lower transaction volume in 1H 2013, investment interest in private commercial and hotel sector remains active.

Continuous sourcing for suitable investment developments are observed in the market, though compressed yields and elevated asking prices for available commercial developments remained key concerns for buyers.

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.
