Chart of the Day: Office rents slipped for the first time in six quarters

The good days are over for landlords.

Singapore's office rents slipped in the second quarter, ending the consecutive run of six quarters of growth since the fourth quarter of 2013.

According to CBRE, Grade A rents corrected 0.9% quarter-on-quarter to reach $11.30psf/month, while Grade B rents corrected 0.6% quarter-on-quarter to $8.55psf/month.

"There is some concern around the wave of new development completions scheduled from H2 2016 should the slowdown in demand persist. Looking ahead, CBRE Research expects further downward pressure on rents with supply likely to outweigh demand in the short to medium term. There is also greater caution in the occupier community and which may impact expansion and leasing volume," CBRE 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.
