SPH REIT posts negative rental reversion of 8.4%

This is due to weak retail leasing sentiment.

SPH REIT recorded a negative rental reversion of 8.4%, according to a report posted by OCBC Investment Research.

This was credited to a weaker retail leasing sentiment. Values recorded by the company showed this trend amongst most of SPH REIT’s commercial properties.

Paragon and Clementi Mall showed negative rates at -8.3% and -8.7% respectively, whilst The Rail Mall was the only Singapore-based asset with a positive rate of 5.4%. Overall, a negative rental reversion of 8.2%  was recorded.

The company’s Australia assets also echoed overall negative rental reversions of 10.8%, where Westfield Marion and Figtree Grove had rates of -10.5% and -12%, respectively.

Despite these rates, OCBC expects the rental rates to remain under pressure until tenant retention is prioritised.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
