Singapore office rents see subdued growth in 1Q2023: JLL

Grade A office rents in the Central Business District (CBD) saw a marginal increase of 1.0% q-o-q in 1Q2023, according to research by real estate consultancy JLL. This represented the second consecutive quarter of slower growth, down from the 1.2% q-o-q recorded in the previous quarter.

Andrew Tangye, head of office leasing and advisory at JLL Singapore, cites macroeconomic uncertainties as the main contributor to the slower growth, with larger space users exercising caution over relocation and expansion plans.
