Office Building for Rent

The one task that most companies dread is probably moving. The first step, finding an office for rent.  This is perhaps the most difficult but also the most important part of the move. Everyone seems to have an opinion on where they want to be or what kind of office they like. But you can’t please everyone.

While the prospect of moving into a new office can be exciting. Finding the correct office for rent can be very intimidating. Where to start looking for an office for rent? How big do I need? Can it fit my current set-up? There must be a thousand questions racing through your mind all at the same time.

Why Use SHO to Search your Office for Rent?

First, we do not work for any specific landlord. Our main motivation is to find the correct office space for you. So rest assured that you will not be “hard-sold” into “accepting” any particular unit.

There are many offices for rent out there, especially in the CBD area. However, there may only be a handful that are suitable for your business. We keep track of the availability, changes in the rental price, and the different layouts for the offices in our area.

Our services are not limited to just searching for an office for rent, but also include helping you negotiate the best rental price and recommending any other services that you need.

Types of Office Buildings for Rent in Singapore

Most of the corporate offices for rent are owned by major developers in Singapore. There is also the smaller strata-owned corporate office for rent. We will also include this type of office space if it suits you best.

We also work with agents that represent individual landlord who owns this strata-titled office for rent. Because we believe your interest comes before monetary incentive.

Cost of Office for Rent

Most corporate offices for rent in Singapore CBD are around $9 per square foot to $13 per square foot. This may include maintenance and service charges. Goods and Services Tax (GST) usually applies.

The rental price may vary in the same building due to the level of the office for rent, whether the unit commands any panoramic view or the size of the space.

However, a strata-titled office for rent may be more negotiable, depending on the Landlord. Some units may have fittings left behind from the previous lease.

This may or may not work in your favour because you do not know 100% the conditions of these fittings. But you may be able to save some money on the renovation. Goods and Service Tax (GST) may not apply in some strata-titled offices for rent.

Finding your Ideal Office for Rent

With so many offices for rent out there, how do you find the most suitable office space for yourself? First, you must identify the most suitable location. Do you need to be in the financial district, or can you be slightly on the fringe of the CBD?

Then, how much space is needed? Do you need any meeting rooms, director’s room or phone booth? You may still have to consider the layout, although most corporate offices for rent do have a regular layout. A longish space sometimes can be more suitable compared to a square space.

Other considerations include whether there is a sheltered walkway to the train station, any F&B options in the same building, season car park space availability or the tenant’s profile in the same building.

In conclusion, there may be more things to consider when looking for an office for rent than you imagine. Here at SHO, we help to mitigate these issues for you. Our systematic approach helps you save time and enjoy a stress-free experience.
