Demand for life science sustains as supply remains tight

Vacancy rates at Bipolis is at 4% in Q2 2023.

With the tight supply and active expansions of life science firms, vacancy rates of business parks at Biopolis could tighten further, Cushman & Wakefield said in a latest report.

“Over 80% of the upcoming Elementum business park at Biopolis is reported to be pre-committed or in advanced negotiations,” said Cushman & Wakefield.

The next wet lab-ready business park supply in the one-north and Science Park precincts would be 1 Science Park Drive in the next two years.

The property firm advised life science occupiers to lock in their leases early given potential rental increases.

The biotech venture capital investment globally may have declined last year due to interest rates but it remained higher than 2019. This is one of the factors that makes biotech poised for sustained growth.

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.
