Bangkok Office Market Report 2024 — Net Absorption, Vacancy & Rent

🔒 A dated record of the December 2024 survey. The survey measurements — vacant space, asking rent and unit counts — are read from that month's snapshot and do not change as newer data arrives. (Building master data such as a corrected floor area can still be revised, since fixing an error should propagate.) For the latest live numbers, see the market pages.

📖 Reading this
Net absorption is the space actually taken up (net) during the year, measured as the fall in vacant space across the same 277 buildings. Positive means tenants took more space than they gave back; negative means the opposite. In 2024 it was 261,095 sqm (handed back), with occupancy fell from 78.5% to 75.3%. This matters more than headline vacancy because it shows real demand, not just the effect of newly-opened buildings.

Rent in 2024

Like-for-like (same buildings)
฿881 → ฿881
0% · 277 buildings
Whole survey (all surveyed buildings)
฿881 → ฿881
0% · 284 buildings

The two differ because the mix of surveyed buildings changes — when newer, pricier buildings enter the survey the overall average looks higher even if existing buildings did not raise rents. For trend reading, rely on the like-for-like figure.

Method & scope

This report is computed from the December 2024 survey of the 284 office buildings OfficeBangkok tracks — not a census of every Bangkok building. All figures count only buildings surveyed that year, so a year with thinner coverage is not flattered by a full-stock denominator. Net absorption and the rent change use a like-for-like panel of 277 buildings present in both December 2023 and December 2024. Rents are asking rents, weighted by vacant-space size — not effective (post-incentive) rents.
