As Singapore emerges from the economic shadow of the pandemic, the nation is witnessing a significant uptick in business activity. This resurgence is a key driver behind the increased demand for premium office spaces.
With 2.9 million sq ft of new office space entering the market in 2024, one might expect a stabilization in rent prices. However, the vacancy rate is expected to expand, and Grade-A office rents are projected to grow between 2% to 3%in 2024. This growth is attributed to a resilient return-to-office momentum and high utilization rates of office spaces.
The slower growth in Grade-A office rents in the previous year was due to investors’ cautious attitudes amid sustained interest rate hikes and worsening global economic conditions. However, with an expected improvement in the Singapore economy, which will benefit businesses and drive leasing demand, office rents are set to increase.
The demand for office space has been particularly strong from sectors such as private wealth asset management, legal, and consumer goods. Additionally, technology occupiers have decided to retain their office premises, contributing to the demand.
The surge in office rents in Singapore is a multifaceted issue influenced by economic recovery, limited supply, and sector-specific demands. Businesses will need to navigate this landscape carefully as they plan for expansion and growth in the coming years.
