Office prices in Central Area shot up 46% over 2010-2013

But it's no match to another segment.

Maybank Kim Eng reports that according to the URA, office prices in the Central Area have increased by 46% over 2010-2013 in the aftermath of the GFC and are currently 10.6% above the 2008 peak levels.

But they still pale in comparison with prices in the industrial warehouse segment, which have shot up a whopping 115% over the same period and are currently 71% above the 2008 peak levels.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

Based on property consultancy CBRE’s records, cap rates of Grade A office space have also come off from a peak of 6.6% in 3Q08 to a trough of 3.71% in 1Q-3Q13 on the back of yield compression.

Cap rates have bottomed out to 3.8% in 4Q13. We do not think there will be further compression and cap rates will remain at ~4% levels in 2014-2016.

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.
