Softer demand to slow rental and price growth for factories
In 1Q24, rental indices saw single-digit increases.
Rental and price growths for factories are likely to slow amidst softer demand and leasing activity, Colliers reported.
In 1Q24, rental indices for multiple-user factories increased by 1.3% QoQ, whilst single-user factories reported a 2.1% QoQ increase.
Demand for multiple-user factories also grew, albeit slower, as most tenants opted for smaller spaces under 10,000 square feet.
Meanwhile, manufacturing players drove the demand for single-user factories.
“There is a surge of supply coming on stream in 2024 though these are typically developed by the industrialists for their own use,” Colliers said.
