The completion of mega infrastructure projects like Jewel Changi Airport (~576,000 sqft), Funan Mall redevelopment (~325,000 sqft) and Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) Mall (~340,000 sqft) in 2019 will mark a stabilisation in the pipeline of retail projects in the city. The supply in 2019 is 90.4% more than the annual net supply of 1m sqft that launched in 2018 with the two malls already enjoying pre-commitment levels over 60%, Alan Cheong, analyst at Savills Research noted in a report.
