Retail market to see continued recovery in 2H23

Prime retail rents in the Islandwide market rose 3.2% YoY in 2Q23.

Tourism recovery and below-historical-average new retail supply will help lift retail rents in Singapore for the rest of the year, CBRE Research said.

In 2Q23, prime retail rents for all submarkets rose, climbing 3.2% YoY (0.8% QoQ) in the Islandwide market, 2.9% YoY (1.0% QoQ) for Orchard Road, and 3.1% YoY (0.5% QoQ) for Suburban.

Leaving activity in 2Q was accentuated by “another slew of new mall openings such as The Woodleigh Mall and Komo Shoppers,” said CBRE.

“Demand continued to be primarily driven by F&B operators, especially cafes.”

“Fashion and beauty and health stores, including Massimo Dutti, Sift & Pick, and Rituals also increased their presence in the quarter,” the expert added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
