Prime shopping malls that are close to the Causeway boarder have seen uptrends in business, leading to increased rental rates, particularly for the prime retail space on ground floors. The industrial property sector continued to see strong demand, primarily propelled by growth in sectors such as electrical & electronics, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, oil & gas, cold chain logistics and automotive subsectors.
