Bangkok Office Supply — Total Stock, Grade & Age

How much office space does Bangkok have?

As of Jul 2026, we track about 8.71 million sqm of leasable office space across 302 buildings — a typical building has about 28,852 sqm, and roughly 23% of all space is in Grade-A (newer, high-ceiling) buildings.

In plain terms
"Total NLA" is all the leasable office floor area in the buildings we track — the more there is, the more choice tenants have. It counts the whole stock, not just what is empty (see the occupancy page for vacancy).
As of Jul 2026 · from 302 buildings with complete area data (of 365 in the database).

How Bangkok office stock built up, 1982–2025

Cumulative floor area by the year each building completed (the 178 buildings with a known year) — a steeper line means more new supply opened then.

📖 Reading this chart
From the 178 buildings with a known completion year, stock built up gradually from 1982 to about 6.06 million sqm by 2025. The steepest stretch (most building) was the 1990s, which added roughly 1.92 million sqm — a steep line means lots of new buildings opened then.

New buildings entering the market per year (2016–2025)

Over 2016–2025, about 70 new buildings added roughly 2.79 million sqm — the "new supply" side of the market.

Over 2016–2025, 70 new buildings added 2.79 million sqm. The busiest year was 2017 (~0.69 million sqm). A taller bar means more supply entered that year — the main force pushing total vacancy up.

Total stock (existing + new) vs vacancy, 2016–2025

Bars = total stock (grey = existing buildings before 2016, blue = new buildings added); red line = vacant space in the existing stock (like-for-like). In short: bars rise from new supply while the red line also climbs — stock is growing faster than it fills.

The whole-market picture (both sides)
To see the real market you need both sides: (1) new stock — 2016–2025 added ~70 buildings (~2.79M sqm), and (2) existing stock — across the same 203 like-for-like buildings, vacant space rose from ~570K to ~1,165K sqm (about 104%). So available space grew from both directions — new buildings arriving, and older ones emptying as tenants moved up (flight to quality) — a tenant's market.

By building quality

OfficeBangkok proxy for Grade A: ceiling ≥ 2.9m and built 2016 or later — measured from data, not a formal grading.

Grade A · 23%
Other · 77%

Grade A ~2.04M sqm (49 buildings) · other 253 buildings.

📖 Reading this chart
Of all the space, only 23% meets the Grade-A proxy (high ceiling + newer): ~2.04 million sqm across 49 buildings. The other 77% (253 buildings) is standard stock. So most space is lower-grade — tenants wanting Grade A have fewer options and usually pay more.

The largest buildings

How we measure

"Total NLA" sums the net leasable area of the tracked office buildings with complete area data (302 buildings). Grade uses a proxy (ceiling ≥ 2.9m and built ≥ 2016). The by-decade split and cumulative chart use only the 178 buildings with a known completion year. This is the stock we track, not a census of every building in Bangkok. · Verified Jul 2026
