These are the hottest boutiques that are flocking into Singapore malls

H&M alone has 3 new stores.

According to Savills, fast-fashion retailer H&M now has three new stores in Jem, Suntec City and VivoCity. The highly anticipated Jem opened its doors in June, offering around 584,000 sq ft of retail NLA which was fully committed prior to its completion. 

Other bigformat tenants such as Challenger, Courts, Kinokuniya, Marks & Spencer, Muji, Uniqlo and Robinsons, anchor all four corners of the mall on every level, ensuring an optimal shopper circulation.

Here's more from Savills:

Separately, Suntec City completed its Phase 1 asset enhancement which comprises some 193,000 sq ft of retail NLA which we understand is almost fully taken up. Phase 2 works have commenced and are estimated to be completed by the end of this year.

Retail sales (excluding motor vehicles) continued with a tepid performance, inching up 0.2% year-on-year (YoY) in April. Watches and jewellery took a surprising upswing which could be due to falling metal prices.

Other segments which contributed to April’s growth were supermarkets and F&B. It remains to be seen whether the ongoing Great Singapore Sales will generate enough lift for retail sales to take off, especially with the severe haze conditions which hit Singapore recently

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.
