Transaction volume of strata offices plunged 65% in 2H13

Blame it on zero new launches.

According to a release by Knight Frank, total transaction volume of strata offices in 2H 2013 fell by 65 per cent compared to 1H 2013, with 184 transactions compared to 528 transactions. The new sale market was remarkably quiet with no new launches in the market except for the ongoing sales at SBF Centre, Paya Lebar Square, Oxley Square and Eon Shenton, which were launched previously. The general slowdown in market activity was mainly attributed to the TDSR ruling implemented since 29 June 2013.

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.
