Commercial Real Estate in Perth is a Tenant's Market

If you’ve been reading up on commercial real estate in Perth over the last couple of months, you may be feeling concerned. The AFR’s recent article reported that the office vacancy rate is currently around 16% and could rise to 20% by the end of the year. Those figures aren’t pretty.

It’s believed the rising vacancy rate is associated with the shift away from the previously dominant mining sector. The Australian economy is moving on and starting to focus on non-mining industries, resulting in cities such as Melbourne and Sydney experiencing a boom in demand for office rental by service industries.

However the rise in office vacancy rates in the Perth commercial real estate market means that tenants are poised to take advantage.

With an excess of commercial real estate on offer in Perth, tenants are taking the opportunity to negotiate lease arrangements which provide excellent value for money, some of which may include lease incentives.
