Rental growth in Core CBD Grade A office market to slow in 2023

CBRE expects rents to only increase by 1.0% YoY.

Real estate expert, CBRE, has cut down its 2023 rental growth forecast for the Core CBD Grade A office market to 1.0% YoY, taking into account possible weaker demand conditions and economic growth.

CBRE's previous forecast was 4.0% YoY to 5.0% YoY.

On the flip side, CBRE said the softer market conditions in 2023 can be an "opportune time for occupiers to reset and reassess their office requirements."

In 2022, the market recorded a full-year growth of 8.3%, surpassing the rental growth of 3.8% in 2021.

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.
