Industrial REITs vacancy rates pegged to increase 8-9%

That's over the next two years.

According to DBS, based on its analysis and taking into account pre-commitments and projected new demand, faced with an increasing supply outlook, it believes that the industrial REITs will see vacancy rates head towards 8-9% over the next two years, as new supply progressively completes in the coming years.

As the influx and pace of completions are skewed over FY14-15F, this is likely to mean that spot rental performance will be flattish at best.

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.
