According to the research group, weakness was seen in the City Hall/Marina Centre and the Rest of Fringe areas.

Meanwhile, about 214,400 sq.ft. of retail space was completed in 2Q17, 94% of which was in the Downtown Core – comprising Marina One - The Heart (140,000 sq. ft.), Duo Galleria (54,136 sq. ft.) and UIC Building (6,701 sq. ft.). It is noted that demand for F&B spaces in the new larger projects has been strong.

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.
