DEMAND Demand for office space has shifted away from the CBD area with a focus on emerging commercial districts as the city moves in a westerly direction. Occupiers are increasingly considering staff commuting times and providing convenience and connectivity to their client base which has seen a surge in demand for areas including Bausher, Azaiba, Ghala, Airport Heights, and Mwallah. Office occupiers are increasingly motivated by cost savings, flexibility and parking when acquiring new office premises. Properties that offer partially or fully fitted traditional open plan office space with generous parking are more favorable to interest based on the heavily reduced initial fit out CAPEX. Demand for business centre operators has increased sharply based on the low set up costs and flexible short-term leasing structures available to occupiers. SUPPLY Office development in Muscat has been relatively active over the past 5 years and a new standard of office quality is available within the market in buildings such as the Waterfront, Salam Square, Beach One and the Ominvest Business Centre, all which have performed well. Generally, buildings that are offered in a shell and core condition are suffering from higher vacancy rates and landlords that are prepared to offer semi or fully fitted space are meeting the demands of the current market. The supply of business centre operators has increased substantially in the market with good quality and well-priced providers achieving high occupancy rates. SAVILLS OMAN OFFICE WISE MARKET OUTLOOK RENTAL VALUES AND SERVICE CHARGES Office rental values in Muscat have seen average declines of 25% over the past 5 years to date with additional incentives available including longer initial rent-free periods, additional parking spaces and fit outs provided by landlords to secure tenancies. Current tenant friendly market conditions provide for excellent opportunities to acquire new office premises at historical low costs. Average service charge rates in Muscat total RO 0.500 per m2 and contribute to the upkeep, operation and management of a buildings common area. This represents an extremely low level of charge in comparison to international markets and it is the local norm for landlords to absorb the majority of these costs from a tenant’s rent. COVID-19 AND THE EVOLVING WORKPLACE The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted business activity across the globe, and required a rapid adjustment in business practices and systems as many staff move to working from home.
