HDB rental demand weakens as businesses close

Tenants are not renewing HDB leases but are moving into condos instead.

Demand for HDB rental is weakening due to business closures in the retail and F&B industry, according to Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia.

He noted that some tenants are not renewing their HDB leases but are moving into condos instead. 

However, some HDB owners may upgrade condos and rent a HDB flat in the interim as the condo rental market demand slowly returns.

It may provide some support to the HDB rental market and increase rents between 2% and 3%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
