Due to the Tax Cut & Jobs Act of 2017, the movement of Americans from high to low-tax states has risen. The states of Florida, Texas and Washington have presented themselves as alternative options for those with high-income.

Meanwhile, Super Sun Belt and 18-hour cities are the current focus of KORE. These cities have low to no state-level taxes. Markets covered by these categories are Atlanta, Dallas and Houston for Super Sun Belt, while Austin, Charlotte and Denver fall under 18-hour cities.

KORE currently owns five properties in three Super Sun Belt cities, namely, Atlanta, Dallas and Houston, which account for 25% of NPI in 1H21.

Six properties in 3 18-hour cities, namely, Seattle, Austin and Denver, are owned by KORE and account for 60.9% of NPI in 1H21.

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.
