Retail vacancy up 0.6% in Q1

New completions increased available retail space.

Islandwide retail vacancy rose to 6.8% in Q1 from 6.2% in the previous quarter, Savills reported.

The increase was due to the addition of new retail space spanning 323,000 sq ft following the completion of Punggol Coast Mall and the revamp of The Cathay.

Savills said some landlords of prime Orchard malls saw strong lease renewal demand from luxury retailers, allowing them to secure higher rents due to limited supply.

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.
