Here's how difficult for lessors to find tenants nowadays

Occupier demand fell further in Q3.

Occupier demand continued to fall at a much slower rate than seen previously, with the net balance moving notably to -10 from -44, said RICS survey.

Meanwhile, availability continued to rise, with the net balance shifting to +30.

"In Singapore, occupier demand fell further in Q3 although the pace of decline was easing. Alongside this, growth in the amount of available
space registered a further rise. Not surprisingly, this is weighing on the rental outlook. Particularly, due in part to the current challenging
economic climate, rental expectations were more pessimistic in the office sector. As such, leasing incentives continued to play a significant role in this market," said RICS.

"A notable shift however has emerged in the investment market, where enquiries maintained their positive momentum for the second consecutive quarter. Moreover, expected transactions bounced back into positive territory, reflecting an improving outlook. This is feeding through into capital expectations, which have turned positive after four quarters of negative readings," it added.

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.
