CBD Grade A office occupancy rate edges up to 94.1%

It's the highest in almost 2 years.

According to Colliers International, business sentiment in Singapore remained generally positive on the back of intermittent positive economic news in 4Q 2012 as a result of a slew of stimulating measures implemented across the globe to spur economic growth.

Supported by healthy demand from tenants relocating to quality office space, the average occupancy rate of CBD Grade A office space strengthened further from 93.1% in 3Q 2012 to 94.1% in 4Q 2012, the highest level in almost two years.

"The increase in occupancy helped moderate the decline in rent for CBD Grade A office space to 0.6% QoQ, the slowest pace of decline since the market headed south a year ago," Colliers said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
