Knight Frank Singapore

The ESG (environmental, social, and governance) movement continues to grow rapidly, reshaping our lives, workplaces, and perspectives on the world around us. At Knight Frank, we are committed to understanding the growing importance of ESG considerations in real estate decision-making. Our recent Knight Frank Singapore 2024 ESG Occupiers’ Sentiment Survey revealed these key insights: • Goals such as achieving net-zero carbon emissions, enhancing employee well-being, and adopting ESG leases are rapidly becoming the new normal • Beyond improving physical spaces, workplace interactive gardens are a conduit for colleagues to gather, collaborate and interact away from desks, meeting rooms and video calls • Among the key ESG factors influencing occupiers' decisions, the top driver identified is the creation of an office environment that attracts and retains talent Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/g652tckn Leonard Tay Jackie Cheung Mathew Howe Charlie McCarthy Gareth Tarbard Grobrix #esg #knightfranksingapore #grobrix #social #sustainability

Kalpana Rashiwala from The Business Times spoke to analysts including our Head of Research, Leonard Tay, about what lies ahead for the Singapore office market amidst the broadening bifurcation between better-quality office buildings in the city area and the rest of the market. While the trend of prioritising high-quality office spaces could continue to be a key focus as occupiers emphasise talent attraction and retention, rents are expected to be unchanged in H1 2025, with some growth projected in the second half.

Huge congratulations to our Retail team for their exceptional efforts in driving Saizeriya’s expansion in Singapore with the opening of two prime location outlets within three short months! Following the successful opening of their first outlet at HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok, we are thrilled to support their expansion journey with the opening of their latest restaurant at Wisteria Mall, bringing convenience and culinary delight to the residents of Yishun. Saizeriya, known for its Italian-inspired meals with a Japanese twist, continues to delight diners with its diverse and high-quality menu. Despite their existing presence across Singapore, this milestone underscores the value of KF’s expertise in securing highly strategic locations that align with Saizeriya’s vision for growth. We are proud to have supported them and look forward to creating even more opportunities for their continued success!

Who will emerge as Asia’s economic winners and losers in 2025, and how can businesses anticipate and adapt to the region’s evolving realities? Taimur Baig of DBS Bank explored this thought-provoking topic in his keynote presentation at the European Chamber of Commerce, Singapore (EuroCham Singapore) Economic Outlook event this afternoon. Knight Frank Singapore was proud to host the event, which brought together key clients and partners for an afternoon of insightful discourse. The keynote presentation was followed by a lively panel discussion featuring Taimur Baig, Albert Marsman of De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek and Christine Li of Knight Frank Asia Pacific. Moderated by Antonina Redko of BNP Paribas, the session delved into some of today's hottest watercooler topics: geopolitical dynamics, Singapore's regulatory landscape, demographic shifts and real estate market trends. Thank you to everyone who made the event a huge success. At the heart of our business lies a commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue and driving impactful change. We will continue to actively engage stakeholders as we dive into transformative topics shaping our business. In staying ahead of the curve, we hope to empower our partners and associates to navigate complexities, seize opportunities, and engage in important conversations.

We’re proud to have played a key role in revitalising Toa Payoh through our work on the Toa Payoh Integrated Development (TPID). Our consultancy team— Alice Tan, Chalene L., Jason Chan, and Retail Head Ethan H.—provided commercial market research and concept planning to help shape this transformative project.   Designed to bring new energy to the neighbourhood, TPID features a 10,000-seater stadium, indoor and outdoor pools, a sports hall with 22 badminton courts, and sheltered futsal and tennis courts. It also includes a town park, library, and polyclinic, alongside F&B and retail spaces, creating a vibrant hub for sports, lifestyle, and community activities.   These efforts have already fueled success in Toa Payoh, as seen with City Developments Limited’s The Orie. Riding on the area’s rejuvenation, 86% of units were sold at launch, with prices averaging $2,704 psf, as reported by EdgeProp Singapore. The Orie’s success highlights the value of thoughtful space planning and its role in transforming Toa Payoh into a thriving, sought-after destination. And it's rewarding to see our work create spaces that uplift communities while driving the success of landmark developments!

We held the last townhall of the financial year at our #oceanfinancialcentre office yesterday, and it was a fantastic opportunity to highlight our teams’ outstanding contributions and remarkable achievements—from innovative projects to personal milestones. The event was also a chance to applaud the contributions of outgoing Knight Frank Asia Pacific managing director Kevin Coppel, meet the new head of Knight Frank Asia Pacific Craig Shute and hear from our visiting chief financial officer from Knight Frank Matt Tweedie. Events like these allow us to take a little time off work to reconnect with colleagues, celebrate our team’s wins and strengthen our spirit of collaboration. All hands are on deck to maintain this momentum as we build on greater success together. #OneKF #wins #appointments #collaboration #partnerships #knightfrank Galven Tan Danny Yeo Kin Hon Low Calvin Yeo Nicholas Keong Chia Mein Mein Lee Sharon Ethan H.

Ry-Anne Lim and Jessie Lim from The Business Times spoke to real estate players including our chief executive officer Galven Tan ahead of Singapore Budget 2025 announcements next month. He concurs that the promotion of continual urban regeneration in Singapore could be achieved through initiatives such as the enhancement of existing regulatory schemes, to drive sustainability and productivity, and support Singapore’s long-term urban goals. At the same time, relaxing existing Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates could boost foreign buyer activity without compromising local housing affordability.

The Knight Frank Capital Markets team is pleased to announce the launch of a collective sale site, River Valley Apartments, for sale by tender. The freehold site has a land area of approximately 12,408 sq ft and is zoned ‘Residential’ with a Gross Plot Ratio of 2.8 under the Master Plan 2019. The site boasts unparalleled convenience, strategically located approximately 500 metres to the Great World MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, and is well-served by the diverse array of dining, retail and recreational amenities at Great World City, Valley Point Shopping Centre and the surrounding neighbourhood. Ms Chia Mein Mein, Head of Capital Markets (Land & Collective Sale) commented, “The attractiveness of the location is evidenced by the sale of the three GLS sites in 2024, during a period when developers adopted a more cautious approach towards land acquisition. “While home sales activity in the Central Region was lacklustre, the interest in the River Valley and Zion Road location demonstrates that developers continue to be attracted to this area, perhaps possessing the belief that when these projects are ready for launch, there will be ready demand for prime products after a long period of subdued activity.” The tender closes on 18 February 2025 (Tuesday) at 3pm.
