Chart of the Day: Why the supply of new business park space is 'daunting'

Suppy is pegged at 1.45m sqft.

According to Nomura, FY16F DPU forecasts are chiefly based on the assumption that headline office reversion rents could remain flat in 2016F.

Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) projects Core CBD office supply at 1.45mn sq ft in 2016F, with Tanjong Pagar Centre (0.9mn sq ft) accounting for the bulk of it.

Here's more:

While we expect Core CBD office vacancy to expand as a result of more supply, we expect occupancy to remain above 94% by end-2016F, which should argue for an overall flattish rental market, in our view.

Compared to the office market, the supply of new business park space in 2014-16F appears more daunting (total of 0.5mn sq m, according to AREIT, vs. available stock of 1.55mn sq m as of end-2013).

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.
