- Gross take-up totalled 363,300 sqm over the past 12 months, above the 10-year average of 215,100 sqm. Demand was led by the transport, postal & warehousing (40.3%), professional, scientific & technical services (9.4%) and retail trade (8.5%) sectors.

Prime rents and yields unchanged over Q4 2025
- Average prime existing net rents were stable across all precincts over Q4 2025. Annually, the North precinct recorded the strongest growth (4.0%), followed by the South (3.6%) and East (3.5%) precincts.
- Prime midpoint yields were stable at 6.25% across all precincts over the quarter. On an annual basis, yields tightened 25 basis points (bps).
Outlook: Rental growth to be supported by robust occupier demand and low supply
- Occupier demand is expected to remain robust and will continue to be supported by the transport, postal & warehousing and manufacturing sectors. This may continue to drive vacancy rates down further.
- Rents are expected to continue to increase due to low supply and strong occupier activity. Prime yields are expected to remain stable over the short term.
