Industrial property prices next on government cooling list: BBVA

40%+ annual growth needs some curbing.

The BBVA comment came as the Singapore government revealed that the price of factory space has rocketed 10% on a quarter-on-quarter basis in Q3.

Investors are rushing into commercial property as the government clamps down on residential sales, with industrial property prices particularly spiking and on course for growth of more than 40% this year.

This upward trend "could prompt similar curbs by the government to cool prices. It comes at a time when manufacturing output is weakening – it shrank 2.5% in September," said BBVA.

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.
