Frequently Asked Questions

Office rent is quoted per square foot per month (psf/mo). Your total monthly rent = lettable area in sq ft × rental rate. For example, a 3,000 sq ft office at $10 psf costs $30,000 per month. Most rents are quoted as "gross rent" which includes service charges.

Office rents in Singapore range from $3.50 psf/mo for basic space outside the CBD to $18+ psf/mo for ultra-premium towers like IOI Central Boulevard. Economy CBD offices start around $6 psf, mid-range at $8.50–$12.50 psf, and premium Grade A at $12.50–$16 psf. City-fringe and business park spaces typically run $6–$10 psf.

Standard lease terms are 2–3 years for smaller units (under 3,000 sq ft) and 3–5 years for larger floor plates. Some landlords offer 1-year leases for small fitted offices, but these typically come at a premium. Longer leases (5+ years) may qualify for lower rental rates.
