CBD's office vacancy rate dropped to 10.2%

It's the lowest in over 3 years.

According to Colliers International, Singapore’s CBD office vacancy rate fell to 10.2% in 1Q 2013, its lowest level in more than three years, thanks to demand from occupiers that was attributable to the recovery of business confidence.

Despite the weaker outlook – due to fiscal austerity, high unemployment in the Eurozone and supply pressures in the office market – improving market sentiment in the coming months is likely to limit the overall decline in office rents throughout 2013 to less than 5%.

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.
