REIT managers worried over BTS project difficulties

Only AREIT unveiled a project completion.

According to CIMB, as the land leases of industrial sites have been shortened to 30 years (from 60) coupled with the volatility in global markets, several REIT managers have warned of the increasing difficulty of engaging in BTS projects as their returns have been lowered by the shorter land tenures.

For this reason, the number of BTS projects announced by the various industrial REITs under our coverage had dropped in 3Q13.

"During this period, only AREIT announced the completion of its BTS development at Nexus @ One-North, while no REITs indicated new upcoming BTS projects," CIMB said.

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.
