Industrial sales value drop 4.4% YoY to $3.6b in 2023

Notable transactions in 2023 include the sale of Jardine C&C Regional HQ for $142m.

Total industrial sales in 2023 fell 4.4% to $3.6b from $3.8b in 2022, data from Knight Frank showed.

The notable transactions in 2023 included the sale of Jardine C&C Regional HQ and Mercedes-Benz Centre for $142.0m and S$131.0m, respectively, to M&G Real Estate in February.

Meanwhile, rental transactions totalled 12,910, translating to a 2.7% YoY growth.

In 2024, Knight Frank expects an overall industrial rental and price growth of 3% to 5%.

"A more optimistic increase of 5% is likely for warehouses as demand remains intact for high-quality storage spaces amid tight occupancy levels," Knight Franks said.

The market outlook also remains positive as large international manufacturers that invested in new facilities or expansions are expected to begin operations.

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.
