Prime retail rents in Orchard Road seen to dip 3% by end-2013

Demand for shop, F&B space to stay sluggish.

According to Colliers International, prime retail rents in Singapore’s premier Orchard Road shopping belt should end 2013 with an overall annual decrease of not more than 3.0% given that they have slipped by a moderate 2.3% in the first three quarters of the year.

As for prime space in Regional Centres, with rents having increased by a slight 0.1% in the first nine months of 2013, they should end 2013 flat at levels close to the beginning of the year.

In the strata-titled retail space market, investor demand for shop and F&B space, including mixed-use developments, is likely to stay dampened as a result of the impact of the TDSR.

Sales volume is expected to slow considerably as investors and potential owner-operators reassess their ability to obtain credit.

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.
