Industrial rents and prices grow for the 7th consecutive quarter

Both grew by 1.5% QoQ.

Industrial rents and prices grew for the seventh consecutive quarter, both growing by 1.5% QoQ.

Based on data from Colliers, the 1.5% QOQ growth of rental prices is an "easing" from Q1 when prices grew by 3.1% QoQ.

 The Q2 rental growth, on the other hand, is an acceleration from Q1, when rents grew by 1.0%.

"This would make it the fastest quarterly pace of growth since Q3 2013," Colliers added.

Colliers said rents grew faster in Q2 as demand for industrial assets caught up with supply.

In Q2, total net absorption came to 4.30 million sf on the back of strong demand for warehouses and multiple-user factories, whilst there were 3.46 million sf of industrial space which came onstream.

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.
