Strata office market slowed down to $652.9m in H1

It is a 19.8% fall from $814.1m transactions in H2 2022.

The strata office in H1 2023 posted 149 transactions from 160 sales recorded in H2 2022, Knight Frank said. 

The sale of units at Solitaire on Cecil dominated the top strata office unit transactions providing a strong indication that the market has been starved of new strata office units.

The Downtown Core Planning Area recorded a total sales value of $521.5m with 61 units transacted, which consists of strata office units at Solitaire on Cecil. 

Amidst the geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties, and increasing interest rates, demand for strata offices eased. 

“Despite this, the addition of new strata office stock as a result of the launch of Solitaire on Cecil spurred sales activity, with evident pent-up demand, as the introduction of new bite-sized freehold office assets of investment quality in a CBD location had been absent from the market for several years,” said Knight Frank.

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.
