Flattish reversions mainly from weakness in the Hi-Tech and
warehousing space. Rental reversionary trends turned flattish
in the quarter at 0.9% mainly brought down by 1.1% and
4.8% negative rental reversions in the Hi-Tech and Logistics
space respectively which were mainly due to the weak
operating climate from the current oversupply situation in
Singapore. Looking ahead, close to 12% of its income from
Singapore will be up for renewal in 2HFY17 while most of its
leases in Australia have been renewed.
In Singapore, given the narrowing spread between passing and
market rent levels, we expect rental reversionary trends to
remain flattish or possibly turn negative going forward. In
Australia, given the well-spread lease expiry profile and active
engagement of tenants ahead of expiries, we do not anticipate
too much volatility in the rentals
as u can see from dbs report summary, industrial rents are going downwards
