📖 Reading this
This is the vacant space in the same 284 buildings at year end, against the year before. In 2025 vacant space rose by 131,180 sqm, meaning tenants gave back more space than they took; occupancy fell from 75.4% to 73.8%. The panel is held fixed because counting newly-opened buildings would show vacant space rising even if no tenant had moved out. The trade calls this difference net absorption, with the sign reversed: vacancy falling is positive, vacancy rising is negative.

Rent in 2025

Like-for-like (same buildings)
฿881 → ฿880
-0.1% · 284 buildings
Whole survey (all surveyed buildings)
฿881 → ฿875
-0.7% · 291 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 2025 survey of the 291 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. The vacancy movement and the rent change use a like-for-like panel of 284 buildings present in both December 2024 and December 2025. Rents are asking rents, weighted by vacant-space size — not effective (post-incentive) rents. Figures in this report are frozen to that survey and do not move as newer data arrives; for current numbers, see the market pages.
