THE decline in both retail property rents and prices was slower in the third quarter than in the second, but vacancies shot to fresh highs.
The latest data from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) indicates that the vacancy rate island-wide rose to 8.4 per cent at the end of Q3 - the highest level since Q1 2011, when the URA started collating retail property market stats in its current form.
