Optimising your asset for a new era
Despite facing lower risks of obsolescence compared to the US and Europe, the office sector in Asia Pacific is not without challenges. Pressure is starting to build on several fronts including elevated vacancy levels, evolving occupier space requirements and impending government legislation.
In Shanghai, continued intra-market competition, heightened green legislation and greater green requirements from tenants, will all lead to more landlords looking at ways to optimise their assets to meet the evolving needs of tenants.
In Hong Kong, with increasing competition to secure tenants, landlords need to become proactive in optimising their assets. More progressive landlords have already started prioritising sustainability improvements, with almost half of office stock by lettable area already having received a sustainability rating.
Our report takes a deeper dive into the underlying dynamics and drivers across the APAC region’s major markets and provides a roadmap for asset optimisation.
