Singapore prime office rents 49% cheaper compared to Hong Kong: Cushman & Wakefield

But overall occupancy costs climbed 9.8% last year.

Singapore’s prime office rents are still way cheaper compared to Hong Kong’s in spite of a 9.8% occupancy cost uptick in 2014.

Data released today by Cushman & Wakefield show that Singapore moved up one place from 13th most expensive global office market in 2013 to 12th in 2014.

However, prime office rents here are still 49% cheaper compared to Hong Kong, which is ranked 2nd globally.

Rents are expected to move up by another 5-6% in 2015, supported by broad-based leasing demand and few completions of new projects.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
