Data centres registered a total return rate of 19.4% in the Singapore REIT Market by property type in 2023, making it the most profitable for the year, according to a report by Cushman & Wakefield.

Following data centres, industrial and logistics properties were also profitable at 11.3%. This is then followed by healthcare (7.1%) and hotels (2.7%)

In contrast, the retail (-10.6%) and office (24.2%) markets experienced a downward trend last year.

Compared with Hong Kong and Japan, Singapore remained largely stable despite all three experiencing market volatility.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
