Chart of the Day: See the record-low drop in Singapore’s office vacancies in 2015-2018

It’s going to be the region’s lowest.

Tight supply has pushed up rents for offices in the region, but leasing momentum has also been sustained at a level that has gradually eroded vacancies and tilted the market in the landlord’s favor, says Sigrid Zialcita of Cushman and Wakefield.

According to a report by the firm, rents of prime Grade A office space in Singapore’s major commercial districts increased by 1.6% in Q4 due to prevailing tight vacancies.

This brings the full-year growth to 10.9 percent – the highest figure among the core markets in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
