Average monthly rents of Overall CBD Grade A offices up to $9.64 psf

Marina Bay and Tanjong Pagar have increases in vacancy rates QoQ.

The average monthly rents for this office sector grew for the next consecutive quarter by 0.5%, Savills said.

Office landlords are increasing rents because of the lack of tenants’ freedom to move. This is the result of the high cost of fit-out and the growth of rental lease terms from the three-year tenure to the five-to-seven-year term.

A reason for this could be due to many tenants not wanting to incur capital expenditures on high costs of fit-outs for relocation, the latter having grown about 20% as compared to the 2019 days.

Amongst Grade A offices, rents of premium offices (Grade AAA) were the most resilient, recording the largest growth of 1.2% QoQ, whilst Grade A buildings grew by a smaller 0.7% QoQ. The rental changes for Grade AA offices are still unchanged after a 0.1% growth in Q1/2023.

Rental increases were registered in City Hall (1.2%), Raffles Place (1.0%), Marina Bay (1.0%), Shenton Way (0.8%) and Beach Road/Middle Road (0.7%). Monthly rents of Grade A offices in City Hall and Orchard Road continued to remain unchanged on a quarterly basis in the quarter.

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.
