Prime logistics rents in Singapore rose 1.5% quarter on quarter in Q1, marking the strongest growth in two years, driven by tight supply and high demand. This growth outpaced other industrial segments, according to Cushman & Wakefield. However, regional competition may moderate future rental growth. The lack of new prime logistics developments is expected to keep vacancy rates low. Despite uncertainties, the outlook for prime logistics rents remains positive, although the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone may lead some occupiers to seek lower-cost options across the border.

- The first quarter of this year saw premium logistics rents grow by 1.5%, representing the highest increase in two years due to tight supply and strong tenant demand.  
- A report indicates that the lack of new high-quality logistics developments is creating a supply shortfall, leading to low vacancy rates and high competition.  
- Despite strong short-term fundamentals, regional competition may temper rent growth, although the outlook for premium logistics rents in Singapore remains positive.
