What a broker costs you in CBD / Shenton Way.

Singapore's broker convention is 1 month's rent — often landlord-paid but embedded in the headline rate. Here's what that means in practice.

The intermediary layer you don't see.

Standard Singapore norm: 1 month rent (standard Singapore norm, landlord-paid, embedded in quote)

Example: S$11,000/month office → S$11,000 in broker costs on signing

Common questions about CBD / Shenton Way offices.

Flex and managed office space on Shenton Way typically runs S$550–950 per desk per month — around 15–20% below Raffles Place core for equivalent specification. A 4-desk suite starts from S$2,200/month; a 20-desk managed office from S$11,000/month. The corridor is regenerating following Guoco Midtown's 2023 completion, which introduced Singapore's most modern new-build Grade A to the Anson Road node.
Shenton Way was Singapore's original CBD in the 1960s–1980s before Raffles Place emerged as the financial core. It retains the MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) building and a strong financial and insurance cluster. Building stock is older (1970s–1990s) than Raffles Place's 1990s–2010s towers, offering lower rents for equivalent floor area. Guoco Midtown (2023) is the first significant new-build to address the vintage gap.
Tanjong Pagar MRT (EW15) is the nearest station — Shenton Way is approximately a 5–8 minute walk. Raffles Place (EW14/NS26) is one stop north with connections to City Hall (EW13/NS25) and Changi Airport. The Thomson-East Coast Line's Prince Edward station (TE16) will serve the Anson Road node when it opens in 2026, adding a third MRT line to the precinct.
MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) is Singapore's central bank and financial regulator, housed at 10 Shenton Way. Companies that require frequent engagement with MAS — banks, insurers, fund managers, payments companies — benefit from the proximity. The Shenton Way corridor has the highest concentration of MAS-regulated entities per building outside Raffles Place core.
JustCo has a flagship in the new Guoco Midtown development. IWG (Regus/Spaces) has multiple centres in the Shenton corridor. Servcorp and Compass Offices operate in 79 Robinson Road and 150 Cecil Street respectively. WeWork is present in AXA Tower. The Great Room has a Shenton Way location in addition to its premium Raffles Place product.
Guoco Midtown at 20 Anson Road is a 3.2 million sq ft mixed-use development completed in 2023 — Singapore's most significant new office delivery in Shenton Way in 20+ years. It provides Grade A office floors, a retail podium and direct underground connections to the MRT network. The development is narrowing the specification gap between Shenton Way and Raffles Place, and its arrival has been followed by improving rental and occupancy metrics in the corridor.
Yes — IWG, JustCo and Compass Offices all offer monthly-rolling to 12-month private office licences in Shenton Way. Shorter terms are available on shared and dedicated desk memberships. Some older buildings offer direct-from-landlord managed suites on 6–12 month licences without the operator overlay — useful for companies wanting a more bespoke arrangement.
The Singapore CBD spans a broader area including Raffles Place, Marina Bay, Shenton Way, Tanjong Pagar and City Hall / Marina Centre. "Shenton Way" specifically refers to the 1.5km corridor from Tanjong Pagar MRT north to Raffles Place, dominated by 1970s–1990s office towers housing financial, insurance and commodities firms. When operators quote "CBD rates" it typically means the full Raffles Place to Tanjong Pagar zone; Shenton Way sits in the lower-mid range of that spectrum.
