Strata office sales fall 15.6% HoH to $437.3m in H1 

The average unit price for strata office properties also fell, dropping 20.1%

Strata office sales activity slowed in H1 2024, with volume declining 15.6% HoH to $437.3m and transactions falling to 154.

In the same period, the market saw a 20.1% HoH drop in average unit price to $2,740 psf.

According to Knight Frank, the Downtown Core Planning Area had the most strata office transactions and the highest total sales value in H1, with 47 transactions totalling $190.1m.

Huttons added that the area saw a 258,000-square-foot increase in office space take-up in Q2.

In H2 2024, Huttons expects growth in demand for office space.

"Some MNCs may have to move to a “green” building to meet the ESG mandate from their headquarters while others may take the opportunity to move to a better-quality building," Huttons said.

Knight Frank, for its part, said the market could probably chalk up a total transaction value of $1.0b for the whole of 2024. –

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
