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 Tokyo, the average office building age exceeds 33 years, however many of these older buildings are not necessarily obsolete – they are located in highly desirable locations and although old, tend to be well-maintained by global standards due to high building maintenance requirements
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.
