Office Overview.

• With a lack of transactional evidence, market feedback suggests that yields for offices have softened over the September quarter. • Despite this, assets with good growth prospects, e.g long WALE assets with secure tenures, are expected to remain steady and possibly witness capital growth over the next 12-24 months. • With a tightening labour market, employers seeking high quality candidates are trending towards offering flexible or ‘hybrid’ roles which include an element of working from home as a routine component of the employees working schedule. This shift has seen an impact space requirements for many businesses who historically have operated on occupancy ratios of 1:10sqm per employee.
