Rents for premium, Grade A offices in CBD predicted to jump in 2H

Are market sentiments improving?

According to Colliers International, on the back of improving market sentiments and demand for efficient floor layouts, rents for Premium and Grade A office space in the CBD are expected to head north in 2H 2013.

Driven by tenants’ continued flight to quality, leasing demand increased for Premium Grade office space in the Raffles Place / New Downtown micro-market.

Positive demand lifted the overall occupancy rate of Premium and Grade A office space in the CBD to 95.2% QoQ as of June 2013, the highest level in 4.5 years.

Consequently, the average monthly gross rents for CBD Premium and Grade A office space rose for the first time since the market downturn in 4Q 2011, inching up 0.1% QoQ to S$8.42 psf in 2Q 2013.

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.
