Parman, West Jakarta, bringing the total stock of Jakarta Non- CBD office to about 4.9 million sqm by the end of December 2023. Another new office project: Menara Jakarta Fortune Tower in Kemayoran with total space of about 82,000 sqm is expected to enter the market in 2024.
Demand: Gradual Occupancy Improvement
Despite the slower transaction activities compared to in the previous semester, a positive net take- up of 10,700 sqm was still seen in overall Non-CBD office market during the second semester of 2023, bringing the total absorption for the full year 2023 to 41,600 sqm.
This annual net take-up indicated a continuous sign of Jakarta Non-CBD office market recovery post pandemic era. Majority of net take-up occurred in South Jakarta area, Followed by East Jakarta and Central Jakarta. By the end of December 2023, the average occupancy rate increased by 0.7% YoY to 80.2%.
Pricing: Rental Continued to Rebound
By the end of December, the average Non-CBD gross rental stood at Rp.201,400 per sqm per month (an increase of 5.1% YoY). In US dollar terms, the figure was US$13.07 per sqm per month, reflecting an increase of 5.9% YoY.
With the projected positive economic growth of about 5% in 2024, demand is projected to grow further, mostly coming from the relocations and/or expansion of the owners’ group companies.
Vacancy in the coming year will decrease as the net demand is expected to reach higher level than that of the new supply. Gross rental rates are projected to increase, mainly due to the increase of the service charge component.
