These are the hottest office unit deals in 2Q13

Including an 883-sq ft freehold unit.

According to Colliers International, notable deals concluded in 2Q 2013 include an 883-sq ft freehold unit on the 17th floor of Samsung Hub at Church Street in the Raffles Place/New Downtown micro-market which reportedly changed hands at $3,500 per sq ft in April 2013, the highest unit price achieved at the development. 

SEB Asset Management also recently sold a 10,333-sq ft 99-year leasehold office outfit on the 14th floor at Springleaf Tower along Anson Road for $22.7 million or $2,200 per sq ft, the highest unit price ever achieved at Springleaf Tower.

Here's more from Colliers International:

In the en bloc sales market, investor appetites remain healthy but due to the larger capital outlays, potential buyers require a longer gestation period to make their purchases.

In 2Q 2013, 135 Cecil Street, a 14-storey freehold office block along Cecil Street, was rumoured to have been sold for about $182 million. This translates to a unit price of around $2,200 per sq ft based on its net lettable area of 83,076 sq ft.

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.
