Premium, Grade A office space rents up by 0.9% QoQ in Q4 22

Rents reached $11.40 per square feet in the fourth quarter last year.

Rents of premium and Grade A office space increased by 0.9% quarter-on-quarter in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2022 as availability remained tight due to changing market conditions, Colliers said.

The rents reached $11.40 per square feet whilst leasing activity in this office segment rebounded in Q4, with total net absorption surpassing 500,000 sq ft for the fiscal year 2023.

The vacancy rate for this type of office space tightened to 2.3% due to a limited supply.

Capital values for premium and grade A office space in the core CBD grew by 1.7% in Q4, reaching $3,050 per sq ft.

It is expected that rental growth for this segment will ease by 2-3% year-on-year in 2023.

The macroeconomic situation and drought in funding also decreased demand from tech firms, which are recently reporting layoffs. Tech firms have either changed their focus from growth to profitability which led to suspending their expansion plans.

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.

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.
