Market PerformanceAt the end of 2014, office market in CBD saw no new Grade
A and B supply.
In reviewed month, due to limited supply and continued
demand from companies relocating to CBD, average
occupancy rate of both Grade A and Grade B enjoyed high
percentage over 90%.
Grade A rental rate remained stable in the last four months,
but in December, average asking rent of this sector
increased slightly to US$40.7/ sq m/ month. At present,
Kumho Asiana Plaza, Sunwah Tower and Times Square
have the highest rents among all Grade A buildings.
While, asking rent of Grade B rose to US$0.3 staying at
US$24/ sq m/ month. However, achievable rental is lower
thanks to a tough competition by all of landlords as well as
availabilities for large spaces are limited.
