The office market will likely remain stable, with demand concentrated on well-maintained B-grade and smaller A-grade units. Rental growth will be modest, driven by inflation and limited new supply. Vacancy rates are expected to hover around current levels, with a slight upward pressure on B-grade stock due to economic headwinds. The industrial sector is set for continued strong performance. High demand for warehousing, logistics, and light manufacturing space, coupled with limited new developments, will sustain low vacancy rates and drive rental growth. Diep River's accessibility to major transport routes will reinforce its position as a preferred industrial node. Retail performance will be mixed. Neighbourhood and convenience centres are expected to maintain strong occupancy and steady rentals, supported by local residential growth. Strip malls and secondary retail locations may face ongoing challenges, requiring proactive tenant management and strategic re-positioning to remain competitive.
