Asia-Pacific prime #office rents stabilise in Q3 2024, signalling market resilience amid global uncertainties. Notably, the regionwide vacancy rate fell for the first time in two years, stabilising at 14.8%. 16 out of the 23 monitored cities reported stable or increasing rents year-on-year, with India's key markets leading regional growth with record-breaking volumes, offsetting rental declines across the Chinese Mainland. Locally, rents in Hong Kong continued to decline amid weak leasing momentum. Backfill spaces from recentralisation and flight-to-quality moves are keeping the overall market sentiment downbeat. While the APAC prime office sector is expected to remain tenant-favourable this year, market dynamics may shift. A projected 20% decrease in the 2025 supply pipeline could potentially reduce the supply-demand imbalance.

Our quarterly staff celebration party was a vibrant gathering, in which we welcomed new team members and celebrated the achievements of our colleagues. This time, we embraced a Hong Kong theme with a delightful array of dim sum. Just as dim sum offers a variety of flavours, our diverse team brings unique perspectives and talents to the table. In Chinese culture, dining is communal, and dishes are shared. Sharing dim sum reflects the importance of community and collaboration—values that resonate deeply at #KnightFrank. #appreciation #DEI #EmbraceDiversity
