Chart of the Day: Rental growth of Grade A offices to be subdued in 2023

Rents will grow 2% YoY in 2023, according to Savills.

Rental growth of CDB Grade A offices in Singapore will be subdued in 2023, according to an outlook by Savills.

Economic and banking-related factors, as well as the restructuring in the tech industry, are expected to subdue demand for offices.

“As a base case, beyond the immediate issues, hybrid working, tenant’s cost to fit out a sustainable office space and AGI are likely to ease demand pressures. However, we are not discounting the possibility that if these new practices and adoption of technology spawn new industries, demand for office space may revive strongly,” Savills’ Alan Cheong and Simon Smith wrote in a report.

For 2023, Savills is maintaining its outlook of a 2% YoY growth for Grade A CBD office rents, vacancy levels hovering at around 7% to less than 8%.

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.
