Here's how difficult for lessors to find tenants nowadays

Occupier demand fell further in Q3.

Occupier demand continued to fall at a much slower rate than seen previously, with the net balance moving notably to -10 from -44, said RICS survey.

Meanwhile, availability continued to rise, with the net balance shifting to +30.

"In Singapore, occupier demand fell further in Q3 although the pace of decline was easing. Alongside this, growth in the amount of available
space registered a further rise. Not surprisingly, this is weighing on the rental outlook. Particularly, due in part to the current challenging
economic climate, rental expectations were more pessimistic in the office sector. As such, leasing incentives continued to play a significant role in this market," said RICS.

"A notable shift however has emerged in the investment market, where enquiries maintained their positive momentum for the second consecutive quarter. Moreover, expected transactions bounced back into positive territory, reflecting an improving outlook. This is feeding through into capital expectations, which have turned positive after four quarters of negative readings," it added.

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.
