Singapore office rents hit multi-year highs in early 2026, but the headline figure rarely equals the number you sign. Here is how office pricing in Singapore actually works and where the money goes.
Read the price per square foot per month
Singapore quotes gross rent in S$ per square foot per month. Core CBD Grade A reached about S$12.40 psf in early 2026 — a 17-year high. Prime Raffles Place and Marina Bay run roughly S$10–15, Tanjong Pagar and Shenton Way around S$8–12, Orchard Road around S$8–12, and the city fringe from about S$6.
Gross rent, service charge and what is included
Most Singapore offices quote gross rent, which bundles the service charge (maintenance, security, air-conditioning during office hours and common-area upkeep). On top you budget for your own electricity, fit-out, and after-hours air-con. Always confirm whether a quoted rate is gross or net before you compare two buildings.
What else lands on the invoice
- Security deposit — usually three months’ gross rent, more for young or foreign companies.
- Fit-out — landlords may offer a rent-free period; anything beyond a basic handover you pay for.
- GST — added on commercial rent.
- Reinstatement — you return the unit to bare condition at lease end, so budget for it up front.
The flexible alternative
Serviced offices and coworking spaces in Singapore are priced per workstation per month, all-inclusive: furniture, internet, reception and meeting rooms. A private room for a team of four typically runs a few thousand dollars a month in the CBD and less on the fringe — with no fit-out and a one-month exit.
