Rental demand for small retail units may weaken: DTZ

Singapore

WHILE the limited supply of strata-titled retail units available for sale is likely to help support the potential for capital appreciation in the long term, DTZ advises investors to be mindful that the rental demand for smaller retail units could be weaker amid the current tough operating environment, with competition from e-retailing as well as a labour crunch.

This is especially so from smaller retailers, who are likely to form the bulk of demand for such units.
