Orchard monthly rents slip in 4Q11

Prime ground floor gross rents were steady around S$38.5 per sq ft per month for 2 years before slipping to SGD$38.30.

According to Colliers International, the drop in monthly rents was due to the latent effects of the influx of space completed in 2009/2010.

Over the period between 2Q and end of 2012, approximately 200,000 sq ft of new retail space will be delivered.

Looking ahead, retail rents are forecast to stay fairly resilient, with any downward corrections keeping within 3%.

"Given the immediate shopper catchment and the continued trend of retailers seeking a presence in well-positioned suburban malls in regional centers, rents there are projected to hold upbetter than those on Orchard Road,"

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.
