Rental rates for business parks predicted to correct by 5-7%

Most especially so for older parks.

According to CIMB, business parks rental are expected to weaken. Going forward, with a relatively high supply of business-park space in 2013 (1.3m sq ft) and 2014 (1.2m sq ft) together with an expected pre-commitment rate of 61% and 57% respectively, CIMB expects business parks’ rental rates to correct by 5-7%, particularly for older parks as tenants seek higher specifications, in the near term through 2014.

"The total value of transactions also dropped as a result of government measures. Jul’s jump in transacted values could be traced to several big-ticket transactions as a result of the listing of Soilbuild, the latest listed industrial REIT in
Singapore," 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.
