Melbourne's CBD office vacancy stood at 19.7% as of Q1 2026, but JLL analysis distinguishes between frictional, entrenched, and structural vacancy, identifying approximately 4.0% of secondary stock as structurally vacant and 6.0% of prime stock as entrenched vacant, suggesting only 9.7% of the headline figure represents genuinely competitive space. The research attributes elevated vacancy primarily to supply-driven factors, with 675,000 square meters of new office space completed between Q1 2020 and Q1 2026 (12.5% of total stock), and identifies building obsolescence as a key driver, with older assets from the 1980s or earlier representing 58.4% of secondary stock and containing 120,500 square meters of structural vacancy concentrated in the Western Core precinct.
Every couple of decades, something comes along that turns investors’ heads. In Australia right now that thing is data. And more precisely data centres. On the east coast, especially in New South Wales, commercial construction has suddenly got a jolt and its all thanks to the very new, very modern, asset class.…
Bangkok's property market faces emerging distress in completed, occupied buildings showing persistent vacancy and deferred maintenance, concentrated in 1990s office stock, early-2000s retail formats, and aging condominiums. The market differs from the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis in that buildings are finished and titled, but Thailand's outdated legislative framework lacks mechanisms for repurposing or collective redevelopment, unlike Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, which enable streamlined asset repositioning through supermajority sales or regulatory flexibility.
A JLL research article examines education-driven structural demand for Hong Kong residential property from mainland Chinese families, distinguishing this sustained factor from cyclical investment demand and attributing it to Hong Kong's more accessible university system compared to mainland China's highly competitive Gaokao examination. The article projects that purpose-built student accommodation demand will create a supply gap widening from 76,000 beds in 2025/26 to 147,000 beds by 2029/30, and notes that Top Talent Pass Scheme households purchasing property increased from 5% at admission to 13% at renewal, representing an estimated 2,000–3,000 unit purchases annually.
Singapore shophouses combine heritage preservation with operational flexibility, functioning as urban infrastructure that enables street-level activation through their physical design of narrow frontages, shallow depths, and covered walkways that sustain pedestrian engagement in districts like Joo Chiat Road and Duxton Hill. Since the 2022 peak, the shophouse market has shifted to reward selectivity over momentum, with capital flowing to assets where location strength and tenant composition align, while examples such as 21 Carpenter, The Working Capitol, and Temasek Shophouse demonstrate how conserved shophouses adapt to modern uses including hospitality, coworking, and social-impact programming, offering investors diversification and reduced single-user exposure.
Bangkok's parking costs typically represent 15–25% of total construction costs in developments, and the city's mandatory parking ratios exceed those of Singapore fivefold and Seoul nearly threefold for comparable commercial projects, despite empirical evidence that 90% of condominiums in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region already exceed legal minimums. Bangkok's 2027 comprehensive plan will allow developers to reduce parking requirements by up to 25% for projects near designated rail stations and prioritizes transit-oriented development, but market demand—evidenced by luxury condominiums providing 110% of required parking—may hinder adoption as consumers remain deeply attached to abundant parking provision.
Build to Rent has long been positioned as a key part of Australia’s housing solution – but in the ACT, the sector has yet to reach its full potential. Despite strong fundamentals and growing demand for professionally managed, long-term rental housing, the policy and regulatory environment continues to present real…
23 April 2026 There is real merit in making changes to the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) discount and Negative Gearing in Australia. Given we have a national housing crisis, this debate needs to include the State and Territory Governments, and it is essential to also bring Stamp Duty, Land Tax and the various Foreign…
