Singapore is sixth most expensive city for office space: Savills
Research study by Savills has indeed identified that Singapore ranks as the sixth most pricey city for office space, beating other international hubs including San Francisco, Shanghai and Seoul.
London’s West End place topped the checklist, with a net reliable cost to the occupier of US$ 248.17 psf per year. Hong Kong was available in 2nd at US$ 245.89 psf, followed by New York’s Downtown location (US$ 168.13 psf), Tokyo ($ US$ 160.17 psf) and London City (US$ 158.26 psf).
Savills includes that the downtrend in rewards varies substantially throughout regions also cities. For instance, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) saw the most extensive drop in benefits with an annual slip of 5%, while Asia Pacific found a marginal downtrend of 0.5%. On the other hand, North America has found an average rise in rewards of 2%, set up By San Francisco’s push to keep as well as attract occupants amidst large-scale changes inside the tech sector.

The research study also located that property manager rewards to tenants have dropped worldwide by 1% over the last year, in spite of the intensifying macroeconomic history. Savills attributes this to occupants completing for limited high-grade environment-friendly office in each market.
Savills Research study predicts that in 2023, prime offices around the world are most likely to see flat leasing development (like North America) to a little favorable rental development (consisting of Asia Pacific at 1% and EMEA at 2%).
Meanwhile, Savills Singapore CEO Marcus Loo monitors that the office industry leasing pattern is going through a change. “With macro-economic unpredictabilities and inflation working its approach via the service charge part, the rational deduction is for net leas to switch softer. However, the strict supply of good quality ‘green’ buildings has somewhat buffeted this influence.” Loo adds in that Savills remains mindful on the workplace market amid ongoing layoffs and occupiers right-sizing.
Alan Cheong, executive head of study and consultancy at Savills Singapore, expects Singapore office rents to trend somewhat greater than the Apac location. “With the demand for occupants to transfer to premium offices to adhere to ESG (environmental, social, and business administration) directives, rising prices working its method with the service fee component, and the consistent flow of home offices establishing here, we may potentially notice our basket of offices squeeze out a 2% y-o-y rise in 2023.”
The Savills Prime Office Costs (SPOC) evaluation shows that in 4Q2022, Singapore signed up a net reliable cost to occupiers of US$ 142.73 ($ 193.42) psf per annum. This consists of annual gross lease (containing taxes and service fees) plus fit-out costs of $180 psf amortised across the contract period of time. The number places Singapore sixth out of the 30 markets evaluated in the study. It as well represents a 1% q-o-q increase in costs from 3Q2022.
