Stellar Suntec REIT to underperform in 2016 on back of lacklustre office demand

Its lease-expiry profile is least favourable among office REITs.

Suntec REIT’s good run may well be drawing to a close. According to Maybank Kim Eng, Suntec REIT might underperform next year on back of lacklustre office demand and the expected softness in office rentals.

While Suntec REIT offers good exposure to strong office leasing this year, 23.8% of its office leases are expiring in toward the end of 2016 and its lease-expiry profile is least favourable among office REITs.

“We think its positives have been largely priced in after its rally from end-2013. In the retail space, we prefer REITs with smaller exposure to Downtown Core on less favourable supply-demand dynamics than Outside Central Region,” stated the report.

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.
