Guess which sector is the biggest loser in terms of investment sales

Sales halved to $333.6m in Q2.

According to Savills, in Q2/2013, investment sales of industrial properties totalled S$333.6 million, less than half of the S$741.5 million recorded in Q1/2013.

The industrial sector is the only sector registering a decline in investment sales, reflecting the effect of the seller’s stamp duty which was imposed on industrial properties with effect from 12 January 2013.

The notable deals in the reviewed quarter include OC Land’s acquisition of Metro’s freehold warehouse at 100H Pasir Panjang Road for S$39.8 million and the S$32.0 million divestment of Goldin Logistics Hub at 6 Pioneer Walk by A-REIT.

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.
