Strata office sales fall 15.6% HoH to $437.3m in H1 

The average unit price for strata office properties also fell, dropping 20.1%

Strata office sales activity slowed in H1 2024, with volume declining 15.6% HoH to $437.3m and transactions falling to 154.

In the same period, the market saw a 20.1% HoH drop in average unit price to $2,740 psf.

According to Knight Frank, the Downtown Core Planning Area had the most strata office transactions and the highest total sales value in H1, with 47 transactions totalling $190.1m.

Huttons added that the area saw a 258,000-square-foot increase in office space take-up in Q2.

In H2 2024, Huttons expects growth in demand for office space.

"Some MNCs may have to move to a “green” building to meet the ESG mandate from their headquarters while others may take the opportunity to move to a better-quality building," Huttons said.

Knight Frank, for its part, said the market could probably chalk up a total transaction value of $1.0b for the whole of 2024. –

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.
