Business park rents grow 2.1% in 1Q24

Rents, however, may soften amidst elevated vacancies.

Business park rents recorded their fastest growth since 2Q17 in 1Q24, increasing by 2.1% QoQ.

In a report, Colliers attributed the pace of increase to newer and better-located business parks.

Colliers, however, said there could be a softening of rents as vacancy remains elevated, especially in the outlying and older business parks,

With higher vacancies, the occupancy rate in 1Q24 declined 40bps to 78%

"Overall, demand for business park spaces remained muted, with more renewals and occupiers right-sizing," Colliers said.

Colliers, however, believes leasing activity may pick up with new supply coming on stream in the later part of the year.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
