Singapore firms start flocking to offices outside CBD

It's where they get up to 30% in rental savings.

According to Knight Frank, within the CBD, demand for smaller unit sizes of 1,000 to 5,000 sq ft remains strong. Movements in the office sector have been mostly company relocations to newer buildings rather than expansions.

It also said that outside of the CBD, good quality buildings such as the upcoming The Metropolis and Jem are of high appeal to large occupiers with cost saving objectives. Organisations such as Ministry of National Development, Shell, Procter and Gamble, Neptune Orient Lines and the Singapore Exchange have taken up large spaces in these buildings.

"Large occupiers are moving into good quality buildings outside of the CBD where they can benefit from up to 30% in rental savings," said Louise Toovey, Senior Manager, Office Leasing.

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.
