Karoo Journey Night Time In Camdeboo National Park

The Karoo Journey Night Time in Camdeboo National Park is an unforgettable experience. Located in the heart of the Great Karoo in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, it is a place of serene beauty and a haven for wildlife.

Singapore office rents see subdued growth in 1Q2023: JLL

Grade A office rents in the Central Business District of Singapore saw a rise in the first quarter of 2023, though the q-o-q growth slowed for the second consecutive quarter. Real estate consultancy JLL reported an average gross effective rent of $11.30 psf per month, a modest 1.0% increase from the previous quarter.

This marked a slowdown in the 5 consecutive quarters of growth seen prior to this. Andrew Tangye, head of office leasing and advisory at JLL Singapore, attributed this lowering of growth to macroeconomic uncertainties that dampened demand for office space. He noted that large space users are largely refraining from relocating or expanding right now.

Small-to-medium sized space occupiers were largely driving leasing activity in the first quarter of 2023, with new market entrants and those needing to accommodate new workplace design or hiring being the major contributors. Notable leases in the CBD during this time include …
