Expats are moving to these emerging residential leasing hotspots

These include Tiong Bahru, Pasir Ris and Tampines.

Prime districts no longer command the bulk of expat rental money. Foreigners are starting to get interested in homes in Districts 3, 16, 17 and 18, a report by JLL showed.

Expats like Alexandra Road, Tiong Bahru, and Queenstown in District 3 because it provides the convenience of living on the city fringe, which translates to lower accommodation costs.

"The housing estates in this district are one of the oldest and most matured, and distinguish themselves from the newer high-rise and high density estates with their signature old world charm," stated JLL.

Other hotspots include Bedok, Changi, Pasir Ris, Simei and Tampines. This is because of the emergence of business parks in the area, which has led to the relocation of some companies.

"In addition, these East Coast neighbourhoods are popular among expatriates for its spacious and reasonably priced housing," noted JLL.

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.
