Aug 18 — JLL China research director Yao Yao said Shanghai super-prime offices
are showing durable rent premiums and lower vacancy and are now the primary
engine of the city's market repair. Data through end-2Q show average rent at 8.5
yuan/sqm/day; in 1H2026 nearly 70% of super-prime projects recorded rent
stabilization or increases. For projects completed since 2022, average
absorption has been 2.7–2.9x that of standard Grade-A at comparable stages, and
94% of leasing into super-prime over the past year was upgrade demand.
