Industrial sales value drop 4.4% YoY to $3.6b in 2023

Notable transactions in 2023 include the sale of Jardine C&C Regional HQ for $142m.

Total industrial sales in 2023 fell 4.4% to $3.6b from $3.8b in 2022, data from Knight Frank showed.

The notable transactions in 2023 included the sale of Jardine C&C Regional HQ and Mercedes-Benz Centre for $142.0m and S$131.0m, respectively, to M&G Real Estate in February.

Meanwhile, rental transactions totalled 12,910, translating to a 2.7% YoY growth.

In 2024, Knight Frank expects an overall industrial rental and price growth of 3% to 5%.

"A more optimistic increase of 5% is likely for warehouses as demand remains intact for high-quality storage spaces amid tight occupancy levels," Knight Franks said.

The market outlook also remains positive as large international manufacturers that invested in new facilities or expansions are expected to begin operations.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
