Grade A office rents in Singapore declined driven by the premium segment

Specifically, those in Shenton Way / Tanjong Pagar.

The Core CBD Premium & Grade A office rents went down after nine consecutive quarters of growth (-0.1% QOQ) during the third quarter (Q3) of 2023 to reach $11.51 per sq ft, Colliers said in a recent report.

This was attributed to the Premium segment, particularly those in Shenton Way / Tanjong Pagar.

Meanwhile, rents for the Core CBD Grade A segment retained their growth due to resilient demand and limited supply, amidst a continued flight to quality.

Grade A rents in the Fringe CBD and City Fringe “appear to be catching up as tenants seek financially attractive options near the CBD.”

Mr Bastiaan van Beijsterveldt, Managing Director of Singapore at Colliers, said macroeconomic weakness contributed to the softening of rents.

“However, they remain supported by stable market fundamentals leading to tight vacancy. As near-term market dynamics come into play, such as quality fitted-out spaces coming to market and occupancy pressures, opportunities may arise for occupiers to take advantage of these,” he added, saying firms should revisit their strategies.

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.
