Watch out for these two up-and-coming commercial hotspots

They will have full government backing.

Commenting on the newly released land use plan by the Singapore government, Jones Lang LaSalle noted that there are plans afoot to create more commercial nodes such as the North Coast Innovation Corridor and the Southern Waterfront City. 

"Of the two, the Southern Waterfront City could could gain more popularity given the proximity to the city center and the existing commercial node in the Harbour Front area," said OCBC.

Prospects for the North Coast Innovation Corridor, meanwhile, could brighten in the near term under the right circumstances.

"While the North Coast Innovation Corridor is a long term plan, it could see some heightened interest should the development of the Iskandar region gather greater speed."

The property investment firm also pointed to the Seletar as another regional centre "worth watching" for its booming aerospace industry.

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.
