New CapitaMalls securing impressively high tenant commitments

Almost-full committed occupancies for Bedok Mall, Westgate.

"Bedok Mall, which is set to open in 4Q13, has already achieved ~100% committed occupancy. The mall will have a wide range of retail and F&B offerings, including Tim Ho Wan, the immensely popular dim sum restaurant. Westgate, scheduled to open before Christmas, is >80% committed," said Maybank Kim Eng in its CapitaMalls update.

"Among the committed tenants are COS (Collection of Style) – the upmarket line from H&M, and Coach, which will open its first suburban boutique in Westgate. By our estimates, these two malls will contribute ~SGD20m of net property income per annum on a stabilized basis," it added.

The research firm expects that in the near-term, the opening of new malls will continue to be a key earnings driver, supported by positive rental reversions.

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.
