Singapore Rental Market Outlook<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rentals for office space decreased by 1.1% in 2Q2025 compared with the 0.2% decrease in the previous quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The islandwide vacancy rate of office spaces dropped to 11.4% in 2Q2025 from 11.7% in 1Q2025, contributed by the lack of new office supply in Q2 and backfilling of the vacated space in older properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this relatively tight office vacancy rate, rents have remained lacklustre. Given the uncertain economic environment due to the ongoing trade tensions, landlords may tend to prioritise maintaining occupancy rate over higher rentals for the interim period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
