Singapore’s strata office market is poised for another year of steady growth in 2025, supported by tight new supply and continued demand from business owners, family offices and private investors looking for bite-sized commercial assets in core locations.

Why strata offices are back in focus

With more landlords converting entire office towers into single-ownership investment assets, true strata opportunities in the CBD and city-fringe have become increasingly scarce. This scarcity value, combined with the ability to hedge against rising business rents, is drawing renewed interest from occupier-buyers and long-term investors.

• Limited pipeline of new strata office launches islandwide.
• Owner-occupiers keen to lock in premises and avoid future rental shocks.
• Family offices and SMEs favour bite-sized tickets over whole-building exposure.

Key trends to watch in 2025

City-fringe and decentralised hubs near MRT interchanges are expected to see stronger resale interest, especially for well-renovated, efficiently-laid-out units. In the core CBD, strata floors in buildings with good maintenance and repositioning potential may command a premium.

Not all strata offices are equal. Stacks with awkward layouts, deep floor plates or poor natural light can underperform even in a rising market. Due diligence on building quality, tenant mix and exit demand is critical before committing to a purchase.
