Singapore prime office values dip in Q2

Values slid to $3,050 psf from $3,100 psf previously.

Capital values of prime office space in the central business district (CBD) slipped in the second quarter, according to Colliers.

The average capital values of core CBD premium and grade A office space went down 1.6% to $3,050 per square foot in the second quarter from $3,100 psf in the first quarter.

Net yields grew slightly by 8 basis points to 3.59% in the second quarter.

Among the big-ticket office deals during the quarter, Colliers billed the $775m sale of Mapletree Anson in May as an opportunistic play with a unit price equivalent to $2,352 psf. This runs in contrast to the $147m sale of 30 Prinsep Street whose price tag translates to $3,000 psf.

Colliers said these two deals reinforce the strength of the entire prime office market with private wealth still driving demand for premium workspace. The property agency expects the segment to stay resilient in the long run.

“In the longer term, office capital values are expected to remain resilient and well supported by the ample liquidity in the market as well as the impending easing of interest rates.

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.
