Singapore office rents set to hit pre-pandemic levels
新加坡写字楼租金重返疫情前水平
Singapore office rents are set to hit pre-pandemic levels for the first time since the start of the Covid-19 crisis, as Chinese companies lead a rush to expand operations in the city-state.The return of workers to the office this year, coupled with lockdowns in China and restrictions in Hong Kong that have forced foreign companies to consider alternative locations, pushed rents for prime office space in the city centre to S$10.74 (US$7.71) per square foot in the second quarter, according to real estate group JLL.
新加坡写字楼租金将自新冠肺炎危机爆发以来首次回升至疫情前水平，中国企业正带头在这个城市国家扩张业务。
Rents rose 2.7 per cent compared with the previous quarter, meaning landlords in the Asian financial hub have enjoyed five consecutive quarters of growth, according to the data.
根据房地产服务集团仲量联行(JLL)的数据，今年以来劳动者重返办公室，再加上中国内地的防疫封锁和香港的防疫限制措施促使外国公司考虑替代办公地点，使得新加坡市中心顶级写字楼的租金在第二季度升至每平方英尺10.74新元（合7.71美元）。
“Our forecast is that it will hit S$11 by the end of the year and rise another 25 per cent by 2026,” said Regina Lim, head of strategic advisory for JLL’s Asian capital markets business.
数据显示，第二季度租金环比上涨2.7%，意味着这个亚洲金融中心的房东已经连续5个季度享受租金上涨。
