Designed by ID Architects, this 30 storey mixed-use condominium development overlooks the Kallang River, and commands stunning panoramic views of the Kallang riverside waterfront. It has a total construction floor area of approximately 40,600m2 and offers 212 apartment units.

Strategically located at the edge of the central business district, Kallang Riverside is easily accessible via the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) from East Coast Parkway (ECP) or the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) from Marina Bay. There are three MRT stations to serve residents and visitors in the vicinity, namely the Lavender and Kallang MRT stations and the Stadium Circle Line station at the Sports Hub.

In order to be in sync with site conditions and in response to the call for a more sustainable mode of living amidst Singapore’s dense urban environment, the architectural design allowed the ground floor space to give the impression of a fenceless public space to encourage fluid pedestrian circulation between the development and the surrounding park. Lush greenery is also incorporated extensively, with sky gardens, planters and green walls well integrated into every public and residential communal area, providing a seamless transition between the park and the development.

Kallang Riverside has achieved the Building Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark GoldPlus award. RLB is proud to be the quantity surveyor of this project.

SINGAPORE ECONOMY

SINGAPORE REPORT | JUNE 2017

The global economic slowdown has impacted much of the Singapore economy, causing uneven growth across its sectors. Singapore’s economy stayed resilient in 1Q 2017, with a gross domestic product (GDP) expansion of 2.7% on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, according to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).

For 2Q 2017, advanced estimates by MTI forecasts a 2.5% y-o-y growth. The biggest contributor to the first quarter’s GDP was the manufacturing sector as it grew 8.0%, and extended the 11.0% expansion from the preceding quarter. Comparatively, the construction sector declined for the third consecutive quarter by registering -1.4% y-o-y for 1Q 2017, as the slowdown in private sector construction activities persist.

CPI-All Items inflation rose to 1.4% in May from 0.4% in the preceding month, due to energy-related components and the impact of administrative processing increases. MAS Core inflation also eased to 1.6% in May from 1.7% recorded in the previous month. Based on MTI’s growth data, the government is confident the economy for 2017 will clock its fastest growth rate in three years as global growth is expected to strengthen considerably. While the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) maintains its earlier growth forecast for 2017 at 1.0% to 3.0%, economists cautioned the water tariff hike, from 1 July this year could weigh on domestic demands in the second half of the year and may impede on the government’s targeted annual growth.

Local labour market conditions remain slack and this is expected to dampen underlying wage pressures. Overall labour productivity grew by 2.7% in 1Q 2017, compared to the same period a year ago. The manufacturing and construction sectors achieved the highest productivity growth at 12.0% and 3.0% respectively.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong emphasized on job creation and tackling unemployment at the recent May Day Rally after unemployment levels crept to 2.3% in 1Q 2017, up from 2.2% in December 2016. To reverse the unemployment trend, the government is helping unemployed citizens to find alternative jobs, especially professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) through schemes such as SkillsFuture, job-matching and Professional Conversion Programmes for older and/or retrenched workers.

Rising business costs has been weighing heavily on the sales and profit margins of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), causing many them to struggle to stay afloat. Budget 2017 will see the government bringing in new businesses and investments, and upgrade existing companies. SMEs will also get financial assistance to upgrade themselves, go overseas, expand and build new capabilities. Additionally, the government continues to create opportunities for transformation in the built environment sector. The Ministry of National Development (MND) wants this sector “to be technologically advanced, coordinated across the entire construction value chain, and be supported by a highly skilled workforce with a strong Singaporean PMET core”.

previous quarter. Although market stock for office space increased slower by 31,000m2, (compared with the increase of 66,000m2 in the preceding quarter), occupancy rates for office space fell drastically by 6,000m2 (compared to the increase of 1,000m2 in the previous quarter). This caused the island-wide vacancy rate of office space to rise to 11.6% in 1Q 2017, from 11.1% at the end of the previous quarter.

The retail market in particular, will continue to face headwinds in rental rates as consumerism habits lean towards e-commerce. URA estimated some 6.2 million sq ft (approximately 576,000m2) of new retail space will be completed between 2017 and 2020. New retail completions this year includes Singapore Post Centre at Paya Lebar, The Heart at Marina One, and Hillion Mall at Bukit Panjang. Analysts believe the growing popularity of e-commerce will continue to put pressure on retailers, as supported by URA statistics which showed that the island-wide vacancy rate of retail space rose to 7.7% at the end of 1Q 2017, from 7.5% at the end of the 4Q 2016.

Jurong Town Council (JTC) reported the price and rental indices in 1Q 2017 for the overall industrial property market fell by 2.2% and 0.9% respectively from the previous quarter. JTC estimates there will be about 2 million square metres of industrial space, including 421,000m2 of multiple-user factory space to come on stream between 2Q 2017 and 4Q 2017. This is higher than the average annual supply and demand in the past three years, which were around 1.8 million square metres and 1.3 million square metres respectively. Therefore, JTC expects the industrial property market to remain soft for the rest of the year with further downward pressure on occupancy rates, prices and rentals, translating to reduced business costs for industrialists.

The year 2016 and the earlier part of 2017 was a lacklustre one for the overall market for office, retail, and industrial properties. It is especially so with the leasing market, where deals were dominated by renewals and relocations. This trend is expected to continue, albeit moderated, for the rest of 2017 as global and domestic economic growth remains soft.

According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), prices of private residential properties for 1Q 2017 decreased by 0.4%, compared with the 0.5% decline in 4Q 2016. Developers were less aggressive in their property launches in 1Q 2017 with 1,949 uncompleted private residential units (excluding ECs) released for sale, compared to the 2,944 units in 4Q 2016. As at the end of 1Q 2017, there was a total supply of 36,942 uncompleted private residential units (excluding ECs) in the pipeline, compared with the 40,913 units in the previous quarter and of this number, 15,930 units remained unsold. For 2Q 2017, URA’s flash estimates showed the overall private residential property index (PPI) fell 0.4 points from 136.7 points in 1Q 2017 to 136.3 points in 2Q 2017. This represents a decline of 0.3%, compared with the 0.4% decline in the previous quarter. Similarly, landed residential property prices fell by 0.4%, compared to the 1.8% decrease in the previous quarter.

In the office sector, sale prices of office space decreased by 4.0% in 1Q 2017, compared with the 0.6% decline in the preceding quarter. Office space rental rates also went down by 3.4% in 1Q 2017, compared with the decline of 1.8% in 4Q 2016. As at the end of 1Q 2017, there was a total supply of about 826,000m2 gross floor area (GFA) of office space in the pipeline, more than the 786,000m2 GFA of office space that was in the pipeline in the

SINGAPORE REPORT | JUNE 2017

Due to persistent weakness in private sector construction works, the overall construction sector contracted by 1.4% in 1Q 2017, extending the 2.8% decline recorded in 4Q 2016. The Building Construction Authority (BCA) maintains its forecast for construction demand to come in at S$28 million to S$35 million for the full year with the public sector projected to account for approximately 70% of the total construction demand.

Although Budget 2017 gave the construction sector a boost by bringing forward the start dates for about $700 million worth of public-sector infrastructure projects to this year and 2018, the overall construction sector is expected to experience aggressive tender competition while tender opportunities are likely to remain uneven across both the private and public sectors.

While the local construction industry undergoes a major revamp to reduce its reliance on foreign workers, and to improve productivity to offer better paying jobs for locals, employment in the construction sector declined by 12,900 for the third consecutive quarter due to continued weakness in private sector construction activities. The decline in employment in 1Q 2017 was mainly due to the reduction in Work Permit Holders (WPH) in the manufacturing and construction sectors.

The government constantly urges local construction firms, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to keep pace with the technology push despite the tough economic outlook. These technologies include offsite construction methods, which are more expensive, but can shorten building time and cut manpower

needs and digital building design, which requiresinvestment and skilled manpower. The road map for the future of the construction sector, known as the Industry Transformation Map (ITM), is scheduled to be released in late 2017.

In its push to get more contractors to adopt pre-fabricated building technologies (i.e. Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA)), the government will extend a tax relief scheme, called the Land Intensification Allowance (LIA) scheme, till June 2020. The LIA scheme aims to promote the intensification of industrial land use towards more land-efficient and higher value-added activities. Construction firms can receive a tax relief on the capital expenditure incurred in the construction of Integrated Construction and Prefabrication Hubs (ICPHs), which are multi-storey advanced manufacturing facilities for producing prefabricated construction elements. In addition, the government is looking to pilot a government land sales (GLS) site that specifies productivity outcomes to encourage innovative solutions by offering developers the flexibility to propose the most suitable technologies to adopt.

BCA is currently exploring the use of automated checking software to identify non-compliance of building requirements when processing building plans. Productivity levels are expected to be raised higher when there is easier and more transparent processing.

Based on current demand and cost trends, and barring any significant contraction in the public sector construction programme, building tender prices in 2017 is anticipated to continue on a downward trend.

In its latest World Economic Outlook report, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised its global growth forecast for 2017 to 3.5% after a 3.2% expansion last year. The World Trade Organisation (WTO) projects a 2.4% growth in global trade volume for 2017 but cautioned against heavy uncertainty regarding the volatile global economic environment, trade policy, monetary policy and other political factors, especially US President Trump’s protectionist trade policy plans.

The U.S. Commerce Department revised the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) for 1Q 2017 to a 1.2% annual rate from the 0.7% pace, still showing the weakest performance since 1Q 2016. The IMF forecasts the U.S. economy to grow 2.3% for the whole year. The Trump administration’s ambitious goal to sharply boost economic growth rates to 3.0% remains a challenge as the country has only expanded at an average 2.0% rate since year 2000. The Commerce Department also reported the country’s construction spending fell by 1.3% to annual rate of US$1.21 trillion in June 2017, following an upwardly revised May figure of US$1.22 trillion. The unexpected decline in construction was due to a sharp drop in public spending of 5.4% to a rate of US$265.1 billion, the largest drop since March 2002.

The eurozone economy expanded 0.5% in 1Q 2017, achieving the same as the previous quarter. The United Kingdom had the lowest GDP growth rate in the European Union (EU) in 1Q 2017, according to the European statistics agency Eurostat. Moreover, the terms of Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU) and the single market remain unsettled and the impact of Brexit on Britain’s economy is expected to be manifold when it formally leaves the EU in 2019. Meantime, the IMF expects stable economic momentum in the euro area for the rest of 2017 and projects a 1.7% growth for the whole year.

MARKET TRENDS

GLOBAL ECONOMY

In Asia, as the Chinese government continues to tighten monetary conditions and regulate overseas investments, GDP in 1Q 2017 rose 6.9% to mark a second quarter of accelerating growth, heavily driven by infrastructure spending and real estate construction. Preliminary figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBSC) showed GDP maintained a growth of 6.9% for 2Q 2017, staying on par with the preceding quarter. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBSC), preliminary GDP grew by 6.9% in 2Q 2017, staying on par with the preceding quarter. The official manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) climbed up to 51.7 points in June, marking the eleventh month of expansion and also the fastest pace of growth since March. This suggests the country could be on track to meet its annual growth target of 6.5% for 2017. The IMF projects China will expand 6.6% in 2017.

Regarded as one of the world’s fastest growing emerging economies by the IMF, India’s GDP expanded at a three-year low of 6.1% ending March for fiscal year (FY) 2016/17, and the country tries to tackle its pressing economic, human development and social equity issues. India is projected to surpass China to become the world’s most populous country by 2024, prompting rapid urban population growth, which will challenge the government’s capacities to provide basic services and infrastructure. Due to the recent demonetization of its currency and a new goods and services tax (GST) that will come into effect latest by September this year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) expects India’s economy to grow 7.3% in FY 2017/18 on the back of the GST rollout, political stability, reforms in the real estate sector and for foreign direct investments (FDI). But the IMF forecasts India’s economy to slow temporarily this FY 2017/18 to 6.6% and at 7.2% in FY2018/19.
