Tourism outlook and expansions boost Singapore's retail property market 

In Q3 2024, the island-wide retail vacancy rate fell to its lowest level since Q3 2012.

The subdued retail and F&B sales failed to deter occupier demand in the retail property market with continued expansions from diverse trade groups.

According to the JLL Retail Q3 2024 report, food & beverage, health & wellness, and fashion and active-lifestyle & sports-related operations led expansions for the period.

JLL said a positive tourism outlook will spur further retail expansion in Singapore, keep vacancy rates low amidst moderated supply conditions, and support rental growth.

In Q3, the island-wide vacancy rate fell to its lowest rate since Q3 2012. Meanwhile, rent growth and marginal yield compression fueled the QoQ capital value growth of prime floor space across three sub-markets in Q3 2024.

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.
