COTD: Logistics rents steady in Q3

Conventional factory rental growth moderated to 0.4% QoQ amidst cautious sentiments.

Warehouse and prime logistics rents grew by 1.1% and 0.9% quarter on quarter, respectively, during the third quarter of the year, according to a Cushman & Wakefield report.

Whilst overall leasing enquiries remain subdued, occupiers are exploring the consolidation of existing warehouse footprints at prime logistics developments to enhance operational efficiency.

Meanwhile, conventional factory rental growth moderated to 0.4% QoQ amidst cautious manufacturing sentiments.

Further, high-tech rents grew by 1.8% QoQ, as the vacancy rate declined. Business park rents remained largely stable, whilst suburban business park rents saw no change.

“The overall industrial supply pipeline looks reasonable, with higher supply for single-user factories and warehouses, though they have been largely pre-committed,” the report said.

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.
