Orchard Road's retail supply 'severely limited'

Only 0.15m sq ft of retail space for 2013.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, Orchard Road retail supply is severely limited – only 0.35m sq ft of retail space can come onstream on Orchard Road (AEI at Atrium and Orchardgateway) in 2012, and even less in 2013 at 0.15m sq ft (268 Orchard redevelopment).

"Our house view is that demand for retail space CAGR of 2.8% over 2011-15 will outstrip supply CAGR of 2.4% over 2011-15. We currently value HPL’s Orchard assets alone to be worth SGD2.80/share. If redevelopment of the three assets materialises, this would add another SGD0.93/share to RNAV. "

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.
