F&B brands remain key drivers of retail leasing in Q3

However, supermarkets have been downsizing stores.

F&B brands drove the demand for retail leasing during third quarter (Q3) with a focus on space optimisation and opening smaller units, according to CBRE.

However, supermarkets have been downsizing stores and focusing on high-performing stores in recent quarters.

Demand for luxury spaces remains steady whilst beauty and health brands are driving demand in the downtown and Orchard areas. The monobrand sporting goods sector also continues to expand, albeit at a slower pace, and is mainly driven by new brands.

Meanwhile, secondary space is gradually being occupied by gaming and collectables retailers.

CBRE said that whilst consumer spending remains resilient, landlords must be mindful of high occupancy and labour costs.

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.
