<\/div>

When it comes to investing in commercial property in Singapore, office spaces are often considered a category that only veteran property investors can handle. It\u2019s one of the more volatile property types, but often one of the most rewarding in terms of rental yield. In the first quarter of 2018, Grade A and B office space in the CBD has respectively seen rent rise 8.4% and 4.8% year-on-year<\/a> (to $9.70 and $7.60 per square foot per month) while rent for residential property remains stagnant. <\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, while rental volume in the residential property market has been trending downwards for some time (leading to more vacancies), the occupancy rate for office space in Singapore has in contrast seen a slight upswing since 4Q17. Hence, property investors might want to give office commercial property some serious thought. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before you decide to take your first step into the office game, here are 9 things first-time office space property investors must know to maximise potential upside and minimise risk:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    The names of tenants matter a lot more, compared to residential properties<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With residential properties, the name of the previous tenant usually doesn\u2019t matter much. With offices however, the names of the tenants are a big deal. <\/span><\/p>\n

    If Google moves into your office property, for example, better leases and higher rental incomes will probably follow \u2013 and you\u2019ll likely get generous offers from interested buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    To give you another example, consider two office buildings in the same general location; let\u2019s say they\u2019re both on Shenton Way, and next to each other. Assume that they are similar in rental yield and age. <\/span><\/p>\n

    However, one office building is leased by Samsung, JP Morgan, and Volkswagen. The other office building is leased by a random assortment of small- to medium-sized businesses. In this situation, which office building’s space will command a higher rent? <\/span><\/p>\n

    You probably guessed it: the one with the stronger brand names, because those tenants are internationally known companies; we <\/span>know<\/span><\/i> they can maintain their leases. <\/span><\/p>\n

    As such, investors in office space must be extra discerning when it comes to who the tenants are. It\u2019s also not uncommon to lower rental rates for iconic companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      C class offices are difficult for property investors who lack experience<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      C class offices tend to be in difficult locations, are found in ageing buildings, or both. These properties are for investors who see future potential in the area. They might also intend to renovate and revive old properties. If they succeed, the rental yield can be much higher than the typical 4 to 5%, due to the low cost they paid for the property.<\/span><\/p>\n

      But while these properties are much cheaper than their A and B class counterparts, the risk to new investors is very high. It takes a lot of experience and acumen to spot bargain buys, and a new investor runs the risk of owning a dead-end building.<\/span><\/p>\n

      And as for buying a cheap, office space that has been vacant for years\u2026<\/span>don\u2019t. <\/span><\/i>Just don\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"Property
      Property investors, always check the tenant history of an office space. Avoid buying office spaces that have been untenanted for months.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
        \n
      1. \n

        Office properties are more closely tied to the country\u2019s economic growth<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        More so than most other property types, offices are affected by Singapore\u2019s economic growth. Even a news report of a lower Production Managers Index (PMI)<\/a> can be enough to turn away formerly interested buyers. <\/span><\/p>\n

        The reason is straightforward: as companies expand, they need more office space. As they contract, they need less office space. This can cause rental income to swing up or down by large amounts, making offices a particularly volatile investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Considering this, investors should retain a portion of earnings during economic booms to ride out losses during the downturns. <\/span><\/p>\n

        In addition, this is a good reason to avoid mediocre or \u201cmass market\u201d type properties. These middle-of-the-road investments may require a smaller cash outlay; but during a downturn, offices with a solid location are resilient: companies will continue to seek out these offices, whereas buildings with mediocre locations will go vacant. <\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Pay attention to who is leaving and staying, before you buy<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          A common newbie mistake is to fail to check the tenant leases, before buying. The worst thing you can do is buy when four out of the five tenants are about to leave next quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Before you invest, always familiarise yourself with the tenants, and the remaining length of their leases.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Shophouses are a favourite alternative to traditional offices<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you can afford to invest in one, shophouses are a <\/span>strong alternative to traditional office buildings in Singapore<\/span><\/a>. Businesses that require more flair (such as design firms and creative agencies) often opt for shophouses instead of traditional office buildings. Furthermore, there are many shophouses located in the Central Business District (CBD), such as in Chinatown, Tanjong Pagar, and Boat Quay.<\/span><\/p>\n

            One added advantage of shophouses is that many have been classified conserved by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). As they\u2019re considered historically important, you\u2019re less likely to see your investment demolished to make way for a new road.<\/span><\/p>\n

            [Recommended article:<\/em> 9 reasons to buy a shophouse (instead of a condo)<\/a>]<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              Co-working spaces are causing a lot of disruption in the office space<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Co-working spaces <\/span>are on the rise<\/span><\/a>, with players like WeWork and The Working Capitol muscling in on prime office locations. <\/span><\/p>\n

              Also called shared office spaces, co-working spaces have three powerful forces in their favour: the growing number of self-employed who need them, the explosion of tech start-ups, and the growing number of companies that don\u2019t want to be locked into long leases.<\/span><\/p>\n

              Of course, co-working spaces have their own challenges, such as the high number of tenants constantly coming and going, the services that need to be provided (e.g. concierge), and the administrative manpower needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

              Nonetheless, it\u2019s something property investors with an entrepreneurial streak may want to consider. <\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \n

                Singapore is decentralising its business hub<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Singapore’s CBD has long been the home of prime, Class A offices; and it was once assumed that offices in this area will always hold their value. While that\u2019s likely to be true for many years yet, investors must be aware that Singapore is decentralising business activity to locations across the island<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

                Do check out the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Master Plan: the government’s intention is to have scattered business districts, in places such as Jurong, Paya Lebar, Punggol, and so forth. This is to ease the burden on the transport infrastructure. Buona Vista and one-north has been one of the most successful examples of decentralisation to date.<\/span><\/p>\n

                This is what the Singapore government hopes the Jurong CBD to look like: Credits: URA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

                The implication of decentralisation is that, over the longer term,\u00a0offices in these out-of-central hubs can see a healthy rise in value. Meanwhile,\u00a0<\/span>CBD offices may see their traditional dominance fade a little as more decentralised business hubs take off. Of course, in a good economy, it could be a win-win situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. \n

                  It\u2019s not the number of foreign workers you should be watching, it\u2019s the <\/b>type <\/i><\/b>of foreign workers <\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  A rise in the number of foreign workers doesn\u2019t automatically translate to better office rentals. What matters is the type of foreign workers coming in. <\/span><\/p>\n

                  Investors should pay attention to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) demographics <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>, and note the number of S and E Pass foreign workers. When the number increases, it may correlate to a greater demand for office space.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Do note that the requirements for PMET (Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians) foreign workers <\/span>are getting tighter<\/span><\/a>. This could translate to a squeeze on office rentals. <\/span><\/p>\n

                  However, offices in prime locations<\/a> have much less to fear from changes in these demographics. If you stick to the basic principles of office property (good location and recognised tenants), the rental income should keep flowing.<\/span><\/p>\n
