Retail market to see continued recovery in 2H23

Prime retail rents in the Islandwide market rose 3.2% YoY in 2Q23.

Tourism recovery and below-historical-average new retail supply will help lift retail rents in Singapore for the rest of the year, CBRE Research said.

In 2Q23, prime retail rents for all submarkets rose, climbing 3.2% YoY (0.8% QoQ) in the Islandwide market, 2.9% YoY (1.0% QoQ) for Orchard Road, and 3.1% YoY (0.5% QoQ) for Suburban.

Leaving activity in 2Q was accentuated by “another slew of new mall openings such as The Woodleigh Mall and Komo Shoppers,” said CBRE.

“Demand continued to be primarily driven by F&B operators, especially cafes.”

“Fashion and beauty and health stores, including Massimo Dutti, Sift & Pick, and Rituals also increased their presence in the quarter,” the expert added.

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.
