Rental growth window narrowing for CapitaCommercial Trust

Rent increases will slow down from 2H15.

CapitaCommercial Trust will be hard-pressed to raise rents further starting 2H15, which could dent the firm's robust stock outperformance.

According to BNP Paribas, CCT has outperformed the S-REIT index by 16% in the past 12
months and the positives of the office rent market appers to be mostly priced in.

"We expect 3.6m sq ft of planned new office completions in 2016 to slow down rent increases from 2H15 (e.g. Marina One, Guoco Tower). Grade A market rents rose to SGD11.20 psf at end-FY14, up 15% y-y, and we expect them to rise another 10% by end-FY15. As the average rent of CCT’s remaining leases expiring in 2015 is SGD8.99 psf, and with 12% of gross rental income nearing lease expiry, we expect further reversions to boost rental income," statd the report.

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.
