Home prices up 2.2% in 1Q 2011

Prices of industrial, office and shop properties also increased by 8.3% 4.9% and 0.5% respectively.

According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, rentals of private residential properties, office, shop and industrial properties increased by 1.2%, 5.4%, 0.8% and 6.3% respectively in the 1st Quarter 2011.

As at 1st Quarter 2011, there were 68,887 private residential units in the pipeline, comprising supply from projects already under construction and those that had been granted planning approval but where construction had not yet commenced. The pipeline supply of 68,887 units was the highest level ever recorded since such data was first made available in 1999. Of these, 34,266 units were still unsold. This number is equivalent to about 3 years of supply based on the average take-up1 of about 11,400 units per year over the last 3 years.

For the office sector, there was a pipeline supply of about 994,000 sq m Gross Floor Area (GFA) of office space from various Government and private land sources. Of the supply in the pipeline, about 30,491 private residential units and about 705,000 sq m GFA of office space were expected to be completed between 2nd Quarter 2011 and 2013. This is based on developers’ declarations. The actual completion schedule may change from quarter to quarter as developers adjust their development plans or construction schedule according to market conditions.

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.
