4 major office transactions in 1Q

Suntec City Towers2, Samsung Hub set record prices.

According to Savills, the office leasing market was active in Q1/2013. In the CBD, the market continued to be dominated by smaller deals of 10,000 sq ft and less, arising mainly from existing tenants’ expansions or flight-to- quality.

Here’s a rundown of major office transactions from Savills in 1Q 2013:

1. The remaining space in newly-completed prime office buildings, such as
Asia Square Tower 1 and Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) Tower 3 has been promptly filled after the subdivision of entire floors. Tenants include private equity firms and China-based resources and trading companies.

2. Shell and Procter & Gamble leased 120,000 sq and 200,000 sq ft respectively in The Metropolis at one-north, bringing the pre-commitment level for the project to 60% half a year ahead of its completion.

3. Caveats showed that the whole 20/F and a unit on the 15/F of Suntec City Tower 2 were sold at S$2,750 per sq ft of strata area. This is the third highest unit price for Suntec City Towers since 2011.

4. A unit on the 13/F of Samsung Hub was transacted at S$3,150 per sq ft in March, setting another new high.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
