Three reasons behind commercial property growth in Q1

According to Savills, the investment sales went up 229.6% QoQ.

The commercial property segment increased to $3.38b in investment sales during the first quarter of 2023, which is 229.6% up from a quarter earlier, Savills Research said.

Savills revealed that the growth stemmed from first, the conclusion of the sales of Jurong Point, second, the Swing By @ Thomson Plaza, and third, the transaction of a 50% stake in NEX.

“Total transaction value for these three shopping malls was $2.81b, accounting for 83.3% of Q1’s investment sales tally in this sector,” read the report.

In the first three months, a total transaction value of $290m for strata-titled office units was recorded.

Although the transaction value edged down 5.4% QoQ from $306.6m in Q4 2022, the buying momentum for strata office space was ongoing in 2023.

“It was evident from the strong take-up seen in the upcoming 20-storey freehold office project Solitaire on Cecil,” read the report.

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.
