Singapore industrial rents up 0.5% in Q3

Business parks were the only segment to record a slight decline, with rents dipping 0.2% QoQ.

Singapore’s industrial rents continued to edge upward in the third quarter of 2025, though growth is clearly moderating, according to JTC’s latest quarterly report.

The all-industrial rental index rose 0.5% QoQ to 112.1 (base: 2012 Q4 = 100), marking a slowdown from the 0.7% increase in Q2. On a year-on-year basis, rents were up 2.3%, whilst rental transaction volume fell 4% compared to the same period last year.

Among the different industrial property segments, warehouse rents led the growth, climbing 0.9% QoQ and 2.7% YoY—the strongest performance of any segment.

Single-user factories saw a 0.7% quarterly rise and 2.1% YoY increase, whilst multiple-user factories posted a more modest gain of 0.4% QoQ and 2.0% YoY.

Business parks were the only segment to record a slight decline, with rents dipping 0.2% QoQ, although they still posted a 2.3% increase from a year ago.

Looking ahead, JTC expects rental growth to continue moderating, citing a steady pipeline of new supply and stable occupancy levels.

About 200,000 square metres of industrial space is projected to be completed in 4Q 2025, followed by a further 1.2 million square metres in 2026. The report cautioned that whilst rents may remain stable, any major economic shock could still disrupt this trend.

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.
