Chart of the Day: Leasing volume of multiple-user factories plunged 43.5% in Q2

This represented a total rental volume of $2.5m.

This chart from Knight Frank shows that the leasing volume of multiple-user factory spaces island-wide crashed 43.5% YoY in Q2, with the number of tenancies from April to May 2020 falling to 1,253.

This represented a total rental volume of $2.5m. Further, the median rent of these spaces island-wide maintained at $1.78 psf pm in Q2, unchanged from Q1 and from Q2 2019.

The circuit breaker, reduction in manpower as well as manufacturers putting off any expansion or relocation plans due to existing headwinds contributed to the lack of leasing activities.

Similarly, the median prices of multiple-user factory spaces generally recorded slight declines or remained flat in Q2. Whilst prices were generally stable in the second quarter, transaction volume fell from $168.6m to $62m between Q1 and Q2, due to the restriction of activities during the circuit breaker.

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.
