Office space in Bugis, Singapore

The tall side of Bugis is Beach Road. Duo Tower opened in 2018, designed by Ole Scheeren for a joint venture between the state investors of Singapore and Malaysia, and it connects directly into Bugis station. Gateway East and Gateway West are the twin trapezoid towers that I. M. Pei completed in 1990. Parkview Square followed in 2002 in an Art Deco style, and locals call it the Gotham building.

The mall side stands on the old market. Junction Towers rises above Bugis Junction, which opened in 1995 as Singapore's first glass-covered, air-conditioned shopping street, built inside conserved shophouses. The Bugis Street market across the road keeps the name of the street market cleared in the late 1980s. Kampong Glam starts a few minutes away on foot, with the Sultan Mosque of 1824 and the shop lanes of Haji Lane and Arab Street.

The district is still adding offices. Guoco Midtown on Beach Road, a S$2.4 billion development, brings a 30 storey Grade A tower next to South Beach, finished in 2016 to a Foster and Partners design. The centres we price include 30 Prinsep Street, 380 Jalan Besar and the Lazada One building in Bencoolen, among others. Tell us the size of your team and we will take you through several in one visit.

Bugis station is an interchange on the East West line and the Downtown line, coded EW12 and DT14. The East West platforms opened in 1989, and the Downtown line platforms arrived in 2013. The station links straight into Bugis Junction, and most buildings on this page are within about five minutes of an exit.

The district has stations on every side: Rochor and Bencoolen on the Downtown line, and Lavender one stop east on the East West line. The airport is roughly 40 minutes away on the East West line, with one change at Tanah Merah.

Bugis suits a team that travels in from every part of the island. Two MRT lines cross under the district, so most of Singapore is one train away.

It suits a team that wants the day to run on foot. Lunch is the mall, the market food court or the Kampong Glam lanes, all within minutes, and clients coming from town or from the east arrive at the same station your team uses.

It suits a team that expects to grow. Most centres here run desks and rooms under one roof, so you can move from a dedicated desk to a private office without changing address.

One thing to know before you come is the price. A private office for four averages about S$750 per person a month here, close to Raffles Place and above City Hall and Orchard.

Bugis is busy from morning to night. The streets around the market and the mall stay crowded through lunch and into the weekend, and the walk from the station can slow to a shuffle on a Saturday. The Beach Road towers sit above it all, but the pavement level never really calms down.

Bugis sits between the CBD and the east, with City Hall one stop west on the East West line and the Orchard belt to the north west. The table below shows the monthly cost per person for a private office for four, averaged from our own listings.

Each district has its own character. Office space near City Hall puts you in the Civic District, one stop away. Office space on Orchard Road swaps the market streets for the retail belt. Office space in Raffles Place carries the banking address at a similar average. Office space in Paya Lebar is further along the East West line, with one centre priced so far. All averages from Nextspace's own listings on 2 October 2026.

Office rents across the Central Region rose 0.8 per cent in the second quarter of 2026, the latest government figure, according to URA. CBRE puts Core CBD Grade A rent at S$12.75 per square foot a month in the third quarter, up 2.0 per cent on the quarter, with vacancy at a record low of 2.6 per cent. Closer to Bugis, Shaw Tower on Beach Road completed earlier in the year with about 400,000 square feet of offices, and the agencies expect no further major CBD supply before 2028, so landlords are holding their asking rents.

The centres we price in Bugis and Rochor ask between S$505 and S$1,570 per person a month for a team of four today, across towers of every age. Tell us your team size and we will narrow it to the buildings that fit.
