Demand for flexible workspace rises 37% YoY in 2022

The rising demand pushed average rates up by 4%.

Average rates for flexible workstations in Singapore have increased by 4% YoY in 2022, thanks to the rising demand for such.

According to global workspace innovation firm, The Instant Group, the average rate for a desk in 2022 was 537 USD per month.

In 2022, demand for flexible workspace increased by 37% YoY, whilst supply only rose by 2% YoY.

Meanwhile, serviced offices saw a 3% increase, followed by hybrid at 2%. The supply of co-working spaces did not increase in 2022.

“Singapore’s COVID restrictions eased in April 2022, allowing the workforce to return to the office. However, with traditional leases expiring, many corporates saw the opportunity and need to adapt their real estate strategies, often downsizing in favour of more dynamic and flexible workspace arrangements," said Ana Olivares, Director at The Instant Group, Asia Pacific.

"The bulk of new flex supply was released to the market in Q1 2022 and with increased demand, operators seized the opportunity to increase rates, particularly for newly launched locations such as WeWork @ 21 Collyer Quay and The Work Project @ CapitaSpring,” added Olivares.

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.
