Rents for posh and super-posh flats steeply slipped 1.9% to $5.27psf

Versus 4Q13's 0.6% fall.

According to Colliers International, rents of luxury/super-luxury apartments continued to decline in 1Q 2014. 

The leasing market slowed considerably as tenants took their time to commit in view of the multitude of choices available from both newly completed and upcoming residential developments.

"With a tenant’s market in play, landlords were more open to rent negotiations. This led average monthly gross rents of luxury/super-luxury apartments to decline by a steeper 1.9% QoQ to $5.27 per sq ft per month as of 1Q 2014, compared to the 0.6% fall in 4Q 2013," Colliers International said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
