Vacancy rates for CBD Grade A offices declined across all micro-markets in Q1 2025—except City Hall and Orchard Road—with Tanjong Pagar seeing the largest drop to 9.7%, according to Savills.

City Hall saw vacancy rates rising by 0.3 percentage points (ppt) to 3.9%, whilst rates were unchange at 1.5% for Orchard Road.

The vacancy rates in Raffles Place, Marina Bay, Shenton Way, and Beach Road/Middle Road recorded declines of between 0.3-0.5 ppts in the quarter.

Average monthly rents of overall CBD Grade A offices in Savills' basket rose for the fourth consecutive quarter by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to $9.83 per square foot in Q1 2025.

On a quarterly basis, rents in CBD Grade A offices in Beach Road/Middle Road, Orchard Road, and Shenton Way remained unchanged in Q1 2025.

For Orchard Road, this was the fifth consecutive quarter that rents have remained constant.

The remaining micro-markets registered QoQ growth between 0.3% and 1.4%, with the largest growth of 1.4% QoQ increase in Marina Bay, the highest since Q4 2019.

This could be attributed to most Grade AAA buildings being in Marina Bay, where the tight occupancies have brought about strong growth to the micro-market.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
