Singapore should be milking benefits from these events

Especially as it has AsiaPac's 2nd highest property returns.

According to Elysia Tse Head of Real Estate Investment Governance, Strategy & Research for Asia Pacific, Market Edge, the performance of Asia Pacific real estate is expected to remain highly competitive in a global context.

Here's more from Ms Tse:

Although third-quarter growth in China and Singapore disappointed, we believe both economies will recover in 2013. In China, forward-looking indicators have picked up and November’s smooth leadership transition has reassured investors.

Singapore should benefit from the recovery in select Asian countries and the US, which ought to bolster its tourism industry and improve the business outlook. Elsewhere, Hong Kong is ahead of its peers in that its economy hit the recovery trail in the third quarter.

The occupiers market in Singapore has taken a turn for the better after seeing two consecutive quarters of improved vacancy rates. The city-country should see long-term sustainable growth with supportive government policy, a transparent business and legal environment and relatively low cost of occupancy amongst global gateway cities.

All of these are expected to attract multi-national companies to establish regional headquarters in Singapore over the long term. Singapore should also benefit from the recovery in Asia and the pickup of China’s economy. As a result, we favour cyclical opportunities in the office sector and long-term opportunities in the non-discretionary retail sector.

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.
