Supply glut to pressure rents for Keppel REIT

It has a remaining 5.6% of leases due to be renewed this year.

A large new supply will continue to pressure rents for Keppel REIT. According to CIMB Research, the trust has a remaining 5.6% of leases due to be renewed/reviewed in FY17 and a further 22.5% in FY18.

CIMB noted that expiring rents are around the low $9psf. range.

"We think rents are likely to continue to come under pressure in 1H17 but the sentiment could improve as we move past the wall of incoming new supply in the latter part of 2017," it noted.

CIMB added, "Hence, we think KREIT could continue to experience slightly negative rental reversion this year."

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.
