8 major office space projects under construction

Most are targeted for completion in 2018.

Rents are moderating in the second half of the year--an opportune moment for companies which have been waiting on the sidelines to jump into the market and secure premium spaces at favourable rents.

Data from Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) show that in the second quarter, the overall Grade A CBD vacancy rate dipped 0.4 percentage points to 4.2%. Marina Bay’s vacancy rate declined to 5.5%, down from 6.0%. Similarly, the vacancy rate in Raffles Place decreased to 2.9%, down from 3.7% in the previous quarter.

As a result, the overall Grade A CBD rent moderated by 1.1% to S$8.86 per square foot per month (psf/mo) in the second quarter. Marina Bay rents declined by 1.4% during the quarter to S$9.56 psf/mo, while rents in Raffles Place slid 2.0% to S$9.13 psf/mo.

As rents are still relatively cheaper when projects are yet to be completed, below is a list from C&W of the upcoming projects to help companies looking for affordable premium spaces.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
