Five-room and executive rents edged up 0.1% and 0.2% MoM respectively, but three-room and four-room rents slipped 1.1% and 0.3%. Non-mature estate rents rose 0.1% whilst mature estate rents declined by 0.7%.

Condominium rent volumes also fell for the second consecutive month to 11.9% MoM or 7.3% YoY to 4,139 in the same month. The OCR accounted for most of the volume at 39.1%, followed by RCR and CCR at 31% and 29.9%, respectively.

OrangeTee & Tie noted that the drop in rents prices and leasing volume could be partly attributed to a pullback in hiring as firms have become more cautious.

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.
