SG is 6th priciest city for office space: report

Total office costs are at $193.42 (US$142.73) per square foot per annum. 

The Lion City is the sixth most expensive city for office space, offering total office prices at $193.42 (US$142.73) per square foot per annum in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2022, according to Savills Prime Office Costs (SPOC) analysis.

In a statement, property analyst, Savills, said this is a 1% increase from the previous quarter.

Landlords in Singapore pay for taxes and service charges, which are included in the gross rent paid by tenants. 

“The cost of fit-out at $180 per square foot, is amortised over the period of the lease and this adds to the overall all-in cost to occupier of US$142.73 ($193.42) per square foot per annum,” read the statement.

The SPOC analysis showed London (West End) to be the priciest city for office occupancy, followed by Hong Kong, New York, Tokyo, and London (City). Singapore ranked higher than Beijing, Shanghai, Delhi, San Francisco and Dubai to secure the sixth spot.

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.
