Savills Research reported:

Despite the slowing global economy, leasing demand here remained robust in the first two months of the reviewed quarter. Leasing transactions rose above 3,800 each month with 4,128 and 3,881 leases inked in April and May respectively.

In the first five months of this year, there were a total of 18,948 leasing transactions, surpassing the volume recorded over the same period in 2010 (16,944) and 2011 (17,836) as well as the six-month leasing volume for each year from 2000 to 2008.

Non-landed home demand remained robust, rising 8.6% month-on-month to 3,748 units in April and settling down to 3,503 units in May. Further, demand for landed homes fell marginally from 380 units in April to 378 units in May.

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.
