Industrial rents and prices grow for the 7th consecutive quarter

Both grew by 1.5% QoQ.

Industrial rents and prices grew for the seventh consecutive quarter, both growing by 1.5% QoQ.

Based on data from Colliers, the 1.5% QOQ growth of rental prices is an "easing" from Q1 when prices grew by 3.1% QoQ.

 The Q2 rental growth, on the other hand, is an acceleration from Q1, when rents grew by 1.0%.

"This would make it the fastest quarterly pace of growth since Q3 2013," Colliers added.

Colliers said rents grew faster in Q2 as demand for industrial assets caught up with supply.

In Q2, total net absorption came to 4.30 million sf on the back of strong demand for warehouses and multiple-user factories, whilst there were 3.46 million sf of industrial space which came onstream.

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.
