These two charts show worst may be over for office market

Suntec City office 100% occupied, first time since 2Q08.

Accoriding to Nomura Research, it appears the office market may be stabilising and the worst of negative rental reversion may now be behind CCT’s portfolio even though vacancy risk remains.

Committed occupancy also improved across different portfolios in 2Q12, from CCT to SGREIT’s office assets at Wisma Atria and Ngee Ann City. KPLD’s MBFC Tower 3 also reported an increase in committed occupancy from 67% to 70% during the quarter, with further commitments reported subsequently.

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.
