Average rents for Marina Bay offices to breach $14 psf per month in 2015

Singapore to experience the lowest fall in the region.

Rents for prime and Grade A spaces in Singapore’s core commercial districts rose at an average of 1.6% in the last quarter of 2014 to seal a robust 10.9% rise for the full year – the highest rental growth amongst the core markets in the region, followed by markets in Tokyo and Hong Kong, as tightening vacancies continued to prevail in the island.

“Rental gains for prime and Grade A office spaces is expected to be sustained into 2015 albeit at a more moderate pace of 5.7% next year. Average rents for office spaces in the Marina Bay area will likely breach the $14 per sf per month, while those in Raffles Place will hit an average of $11 level per sf per month. Total take-up of office space in the core commercial districts is estimated to reach 1 million sq ft of space in 2015,” says Sigrid Zialcita, managing director for Asia and Pacific, Cushman and Wakefield.

Vacancies in the Singapore market will fall to be the lowest as compared to the rest of the developed countries in the region,” she elaborated.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
