REIT managers worried over BTS project difficulties

Only AREIT unveiled a project completion.

According to CIMB, as the land leases of industrial sites have been shortened to 30 years (from 60) coupled with the volatility in global markets, several REIT managers have warned of the increasing difficulty of engaging in BTS projects as their returns have been lowered by the shorter land tenures.

For this reason, the number of BTS projects announced by the various industrial REITs under our coverage had dropped in 3Q13.

"During this period, only AREIT announced the completion of its BTS development at Nexus @ One-North, while no REITs indicated new upcoming BTS projects," CIMB said.

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.
