Chart of the Day: Financial services are the biggest occupiers of CBD and Grade A offices

The sector is an early adopter of flexible leasing strategies.

This chart from Colliers International shows that the financial services (45%) is the biggest occupier sector for CBD Premium and Grade A office stock.

"Notably, the banking and financial services sector is an early adopter of flexible leasing strategies, despite initial concerns around privacy and security," the firm noted. 

Other major occupiers include professional services (13%), energy and shipping (10%), as well as the technology sector (6%), and flexible workspace (5%).

"Overall, we view the increasingly widespread adoption of a ‘flex’ office component amongst businesses as a key catalyst for sustainable, long-term growth of the flexible workspace industry," the firm said.

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.
