What we know is that the global commercial real estate (CRE) sector, like many sectors, faces significant near-term headwinds. In Asia Pacific, while the economy remains resilient, the CRE investment market is in the middle of a reset given interest rate uncertainty, tighter lending conditions, and a challenging global environment.  However, we also know that the CRE sector will recover. In fact, historically, the strongest vintage years in terms of CRE returns are the ones that follow periods of dislocation and financial stress.

This report provides a glide path from here to there. That path will not be without challenge; it is therefore just as important to address the near-term challenges as it is to conceptualise the path to clear(er) skies. Our approach to investing is predicated in part on positioning for the future and not missing out on thematic and demographics that will drive Asia Pacific in the next decade.

The office sector is currently going through global structural change as organisations seek to adapt their physical spaces to new ways of working and adjust their corporate real estate decision making.  Our ‘REWORKING’ series examines decision-making for occupiers under four key considerations: Cost, Carbon, Culture and Community – under which the changing demands, needs and impacts on office spaces and strategies can be examined.

The guide tracks 37 key data centre locations across Asia Pacific with a comprehensive breakdown of costs covering land acquisition, advanced land clearance and demolition works, base build and fit-out construction costs. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the Asia Pacific data centre landscape, including key trends that are shaping the region’s data centre sector. This is the first year that Cushman & Wakefield has published its data centre development cost data.

Singapore’s retail e-commerce market is projected to grow at a 9.9% CAGR from 2022 to 2027, from S$5.8 billion in 2022 to a size of S$9.2 billion in 2027. Emerging trends such as shopping festivals, live selling and online grocery shopping have presented unique challenges for businesses in managing their logistics supply chain. With the adoption of omnichannel retail models and the outsourcing of last mile deliveries to 3PLs, the need for strategically located warehouses becomes paramount.

This report seeks to explain how the logistics sector is positioned to capture e-commerce demand, as well as potential recommendations for landlords and occupiers as they seek to future proof their logistics real estate portfolio.

More than three years after the onset of COVID-19, Singapore retail sales have recovered and exceeded pre-pandemic levels. However, foot traffic and retail rents have yet to fully recover. CBRE’s proprietary study finds that consumers are now visiting malls less frequently but for longer durations. Consumption patterns have also changed, driven by the proliferation of e-commerce, rising income levels and increased focus on wellness and ESG.

This report identifies the main trends shaping Singapore’s retail property market in the post-pandemic era and provides recommendations for retail occupiers and landlords to navigate the structural shifts and cyclical recovery of Singapore’s retail market. Government initiatives, the return of tourist spending and a wider selection of locations are also providing opportunities to all stakeholders.
