COTD: Islandwide retail supply pipeline peaks in 2025

However, supply is expected to ease from 2026 through 2029.

Islandwide retail space supply is projected to peak sharply in 2025, with nearly 1 million square feet of net leasable area expected to come onstream, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s latest pipeline data.

The surge will push new supply well above the ten-year historic average.

 

In contrast, new supply is forecast to taper off significantly in the following years. Both 2026 and 2027 are expected to see additions of less than 0.3 million sq. ft. each.

Supply will recover slightly in 2028, rising to just under 0.6 million sq. ft., before easing again in 2029.

Near-term expected additions include Canninghill Square (87,000 sf) and Parc Point, Tengah Park Neighbourhood Centre (75,000 sf) in 2026, as well as Chill @ Chong Pang (65,000 sf) in 2027.

Larger projects exceeding 100,000 sf, namely Bukit V Mall (174,000 sf) and the Tanglin Shopping Centre redevelopment (118,000 sf), will only come onstream in 2028.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
