Singapore's expected hotel yields amongst the lowest in Asia

They're expected to yield 3.5%-4.5% in 2018.

Singapore's hotels are expected to have yields between 3.5%-4.5% in 2018, slightly within the lower ranges for the Asia Pacific region, Savills Singapore said.

According to their forecast, Hong Kong hotels have the lowest expected yield of 2.5%-3.5%, compared to Melbourne's 5%-6%.

Overall prime location yield levels may see potential downward adjustments, whilst investor confidence improves in secondary markets.

Hotel assets in Singapore continue to be very tightly held, despite strong interest from foreign investors. Given current trends, the pricing gap between buyers and sellers should be narrowing and the market will finally start to see some significant deal flow.

Savills Research senior director Simon Smith commented, "Regional players may consider taking on more opportunistic deals in their respective markets to meet higher yield expectations."

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.
