“Driven by a continuous flight to quality and tight vacancy, rental growth in Raffles Place/New Downtown Premium Grade A buildings could remain high. We believe it would be the fastest growing micro-market in 2021-2023 when the area becomes more developed with adequate amenities,” Colliers said.

Similarly, rental costs in the City Hall and Beach Road/Bugis micro-markets could grow faster than historical average (2.1% and 3.7% CAGR, respectively, for 2013-2018) beyond 2022 amidst the upcoming rejuvenation in the precinct; Guoco Midtown and the redevelopment of Shaw Tower are due to be completed in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
