Retail property prices dipped 3.1% in Q1: URA

The island-wide vacancy rate widened to 8%.

Retail space prices fell 3.1% QoQ in Q1, reversing the 1.8% growth seen in Q1 2019, according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

Similarly, rentals of retail space slipped 2.3% QoQ, following the increase of 2.3% over the same period.

The amount of occupied retail space went down by 43,000 sqm (nett) in Q1, compared with the increase of 26,000 sq m (nett) in the previous quarter. The stock of retail space also dipped by 15,000 sqm (nett) in 1st Quarter 2020, from the 29,000 sqm (nett) growth in Q4 2019.

As a result, the island-wide vacancy rate of retail space widened to 8% as at end-Q1, from 7.5% in the previous quarter.

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.
