Prices, rentals of industrial space continue to sink in Q1

As the market anticipates a massive flood of supply.

Prices and rentals of industrial space continued to tumble in tandem with occupancy rates, according to latest data released by JTC.

In 1Q16, the price and rental indices for the overall industrial property market fell by 2.5% and 2.7% compared to the preceding quarter. Meanwhile, occupancy rates dipped 0.5%.

On a YoY basis, the price and rental indices dropped by about 5%, in tandem with a 0.6% pullback in occupancy rates.

Moreover, about 2.4m sqm of industrial space is expected to flood the market in the next three quarters of 2016. This includes 490,000 sqm of multiple-user factory space.

In 2017, an additional 1.8m sqm of industrial space which includes 440,000 sqm of multiple-user factory space is slated for completion.

JTC reports that this onslaught of supply would likely exert further downward pressure on occupancy rates.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
