Grade A office rents in Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD) welcomed a 1.0% q-o-q increase in 1Q2023, despite this representing the second consecutive quarter of slowing growth. This is according to research by real estate consultancy JLL, with the gross effective rent for such spaces standing at $11.30 psf pm.
