Grade A Offices: Tenant Advantages Deepen with Greater Flexibility and Choice Greater China Top Office Supply/Demand Trends

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 August 2025 – Cushman & Wakefield, a leading global real estate services firm, today released its annual Greater China Top Office Supply/Demand Trends report. According to the report, at the end of Q2 2025, the total Grade A office inventory in the core markets of the 20 major cities in Greater China we track totaled 72.1 million sq m. In the meantime, total premium core city office net absorption across the Greater China market for the H1 2025 period reached 0.76 million, a 5.5% y-o-y increase.

Of the six major cities in the region — comprising the tier-1 city group, Hong Kong, and Taipei — Taipei registered the lowest vacancy rate at 7.9%. As for the tier-2 city group, Qingdao recorded the lowest vacancy rate at 24.7%.

Shaun Brodie, Head of Research Content, Greater China, Cushman & Wakefield said, “For tenants, the Grade A office market continues to present opportunities, with vacancy rates and rental levels remaining favorable. With landlords adopting a more flexible approach amid the gradual economic recovery, occupiers can continue to benefit from attractive leasing terms and greater choice in the market.”

Jonathan Wei, President, Project and Occupier Services, China, Cushman & Wakefield, commented: “In the next two or three years, there will be a peak in supply in most of the major cities in the Chinese mainland region. Landlords will need to continue to strengthen their market competitiveness to attract tenants.”

Beijing

New Grade A office supply in Beijing in 2024 reached 273,000 sq m, a 55% decrease compared with the full-year 2023, making it the lowest new supply level of the past decade. No new supply entered the Beijing office market in H1 2025, with total Grade A office stock unchanged at 13.68 million sq m for the first half of 2025.

From 2024 to H1 2025, softening rental levels, large leasing deals, and pre-leasing at new entrants boosted citywide net absorption to surpass the previous period performance, reaching 511,967 sq m, up 51.9% y-o-y. The overall office market vacancy rate trended down 1.8 percentage points from the Q4 2023 level to 16.87%.

No new supply is scheduled to enter the Grade A office market in H2 2025. We expect the market to continue to digest existing stock, in turn further pulling down the overall vacancy rate. Landlords’ room for rent concessions is approaching a limit, and the overall market is now in a bottoming-out phase. We expect overall office rents to stabilize by the end of 2025.

Shanghai

From 2024 to H1 2025, approximately 1.34 million sq m of high-quality office space launched in the Shanghai Grade A office market, with 56% of the area located in emerging districts.

Over the past six quarters, the Shanghai Grade A office market recorded average quarterly net absorption of 132,266 sq m. The professional services, retail & trade, and TMT sectors were active in leasing, accounting for the top three sectors for leased area. As at Q2 2025, the vacancy rate rose to 23.6%. In turn, the average monthly rental level fell 8.2% y-o-y to RMB 212.6 per sq m.

From H2 2025 to 2027, Shanghai will see 2.58 million sq m of new supply enter the market, representing 14.6% of current stock, with emerging business districts becoming the main supply hubs. Additionally, favorable policy measures for both demand and supply are being implemented, accelerating innovation in strategic emerging industry fields such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, and AI, optimizing spatial layouts, and injecting new momentum into the office market.

Shenzhen

Shenzhen’s Grade A office market welcomed 516,000 sq m of new supply from Q1 2024 through to Q2 2025, bringing citywide total stock to 8.60 million sq m. The new supply was distributed in Qianhai, Luohu and Futian.

Citywide net absorption for 2024 contracted 57.9% y-o-y to record 165,000 sq m. Citywide net absorption in H1 2025 expanded y-o-y but remained at the similarly low level for the same period in the past decade. The citywide overall vacancy rate has risen 1.7 percentage points since the end of 2023 to reach 27.8%. The Q2 2025 monthly average rental level dropped 14.1% from Q4 2023 to record RMB160.1 sq m.

Approximately 1.2 million sq m of new supply is scheduled to enter the market in the H2 2025 period. The overall vacancy rate is expected to continue to rise, and rents will face downwards pressure in the short- term. With the ongoing development of AI, we anticipate that the Grade A office market will see incremental demand growth driven by the further emergence of high-quality technology sector firms.

Guangzhou

From the beginning of 2024 to the second quarter of 2025, new office projects totaling 441,713 sq m of space were completed. Citywide total stock then expanded to 6.94 million sq m. Delayed deliveries have reduced supply in 2024 compared to 2023, although accelerated construction in the Financial City district led to a resurgence of supply in the first half of 2025.

Compared to the end of 2023, the market has experienced a rise in lease inquiries. Occupiers continue to view renovation and fit-out expense incentives as key factors when looking to sign a new lease. Domestic enterprises remain the key drivers of transaction activity, with TMT, professional services, and finance firms, the top three sectors for leased area citywide.

Ahead, 2.39 million sq m of new space is expected to enter the market by 2027. Headquarter-type properties will account for more than half of the new supply. Market demand continues to evolve, with vacancy rates and rental levels remaining under pressure amid fierce competition.

Chengdu

From 2024 through to H1 2025, Chengdu saw 287,554 sq m of new Grade A office space enter the market, expanding citywide total stock to 3.38 million sq m.

Grade A office net absorption reached 67,468 sq m for the 2024 to H1 2025 period. The TMT, professional services, and finance sectors accounted for 26.4%, 19.6% and 16.8% of total leasing transaction volume by area, respectively. From the end of 2023, new supply combined with weakening leasing demand have now pushed up the citywide vacancy rate by 4.4 percentage points to reach 28.8%, while the average monthly rental level has dropped to RMB89.5 per sq m.

Nearly 1.0 million sq m of new supply is expected to enter the market from H2 2025 to 2027. The supply influx, combined with tenants’ cost reductions, is expected to elevate vacancy and exert downwards pressure on rents. Tenants are likely to seize further opportunities for upgrades, renewals, and consolidation.

Hong Kong

More than 194,000 sq m of new supply entered the market from 2024 through to H1 2025, with 44,900 sq m in H1 2025, distributed approximately equally in core and non-core areas. We forecast upcoming new supply to reach 264,300 sq m in H2 2025.

The average quarterly new leased area reached 84,900 sq m in the 2024 to H1 2025 period, 19% higher than the quarterly average for 2020–2023, with the finance sector primarily driving demand. Net absorption recorded 122,000 sq m for the 2024 to H1 2025 period, excluding pre-lease activities at new project developments.

The recovery of the Hong Kong IPO market should help support market sentiment and downstream office demand, particularly from finance and professional services firms. However, the high availability and ample new supply pipeline, with occupiers still cost-conscious, dictates our forecast for overall office rents to drop by 7% to 9% through the full-year 2025.

Taipei

From 2024 through to the first half of 2025, the Taipei market welcomed seven new Grade A office properties contributing approximately 195,700 sq m of new supply — double the figure seen in 2023. This brought the city’s total Grade A stock to 2.80 million sq m.

Net absorption for 2024 to H1 2025 reached approximately 161,400 sq m, primarily driven by the consolidation and relocation of self-use headquarters in the financial and insurance sectors. Multinational corporations accounted for around 80.9% of total leasing demand, up from 51.6% in 2023, indicating a higher proportion of foreign occupier activity during the period.

Over the next three years, Taipei will add around 968,000 sq m of new Grade A supply. With major completions slated from mid-2025, competition will intensify. In response, some landlords are upgrading facilities and offering flexible lease terms, while developers may adjust timelines based on absorption trends.

BEIJING, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Noetix Robotics, a fast-growing humanoid robotics company headquartered in Beijing, achieved outstanding results at the Global Humanoid Robotics Games, earning two gold medals and one silver to place third overall on the medal table. Competing with its humanoid robots N2 and the newly launched E1 across nine categories, Noetix demonstrated both athletic excellence and technological innovation, marking a major milestone in its mission to make humanoid robots part of everyday life.

“Our success at this year’s Games reflects the progress we have made and the path we are committed to,” said Zheyuan Jiang, Chairman of Noetix Robotics. “Humanoid robots are more than an engineering breakthrough. They are a bridge between technology and human life. At Noetix, we are focused on moving robots beyond the laboratory and into everyday settings, where they can become trusted companions and assistants.”

Beijing has become a leading hub for robotics, fueled by strong policy support and steady investment in core technologies and the supply chain. The city has fostered a vibrant ecosystem of robotics companies with backing in talent, funding, and facilities. Noetix Robotics has also benefited from substantial support from the Beijing government, including talent policies, workspace, and investment incentives. By hosting the Global Humanoid Robotics Games, Beijing created a fair international stage for competition, pushing technical progress and sparking public interest in embodied intelligence. All three top medal-winning teams this year were backed by the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Fund, highlighting the city’s strategic commitment to the field.

Noetix Robotics was among the companies with the broadest participation, entering nine different events including the 100 meters, 400 meters, 1,500 meters, 4×100-meter relay, 100-meter hurdles, high jump, standing long jump, floor exercise, and solo dance. The company competed with two humanoid robots, the compact N2 and the new E1, which together showcased versatility, agility and innovation in both athletic and artistic arenas.

The N2 features 18 degrees of freedom, a lightweight design, one to two hours of battery life, and a maximum running speed of 3.2 meters per second. Powered by self-developed motion control algorithms, it can adapt to complex terrain and perform advanced movements such as flips, sprinting, and dancing. It has gained recognition for its strong performance-to-cost ratio and is widely used in education, research, and dynamic demonstrations.

The E1, an advanced bipedal humanoid, stands 1.36 meters tall with 21 degrees of freedom, extended arms, waist flexibility, and modular expansion. It walks at 1.2 meters per second with one to two hours of endurance. Powered by multi-modal AI, the E1 synchronizes speech, facial expressions, and body movements with low-latency response, enabling multilingual interaction and emotional expression. Its 48V low-power system supports memory, personality development, and immersive engagement while allowing customizable appearance and persona. With modular options such as dexterous hands and advanced arms, the E1 is one of the most versatile humanoid robots in its class.

On the field, Noetix Robotics claimed two golds and a silver, showcasing both athletic skill and cultural flair. The E1 took gold in the standing long jump with a 1.25-meter leap, while the N2 dazzled in floor exercise, scoring 41.60 points with a series of jumps and flips, higher than the combined totals of all other competitors. The silver came in solo dance, where Noetix and the Beijing Dance Academy performed Yingge, a traditional folk dance from China’s Chaozhou-Shantou region. Blending culture with technology, the routine earned 95.30 points, just 0.1 short of gold.

Looking ahead, Noetix Robotics aims to make humanoid robots part of daily life, serving as companions, helpers, and household assistants. The company plans to further enhancing their athletic and functional abilities, moving them from labs and competitions into real-world applications that enrich everyday living.

About Noetix Robotics

Founded in September 2023 in Beijing, Noetix Robotics focuses on developing and manufacturing humanoid robots. The company has built proprietary servo motors and motion control algorithms that enable highly integrated and intelligent systems. Its technologies power fast bipedal running, natural interaction, and advanced manipulation. Noetix is committed to creating the next generation of humanoid robots for household services, eldercare, education, companionship, and research, with the mission of making robots a practical part of daily life.

Jiangsu Implements Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Discharge Pricing Standards

NANJING, China, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On August 26, 2025, State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co., Ltd. announced that Jiangsu Province has formally adopted a pricing framework for electric vehicles (EVs) participating in the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interaction program, further supporting the large-scale, commercial rollout of the bidirectional charging technology.

V2G programs allow EVs to charge and store energy when system demand is low and discharge power back to the grid during peak hours or when reliability needs arise. This positions EVs as mobile, distributed energy storage resources that help strengthen grid operations.

In April 2025, the National Development and Reform Commission and three other ministries issued guidance naming the first group of large-scale V2G pilot projects. Jiangsu Province was selected as a pilot region, with initiatives including a decentralized V2G pilot in Changzhou, the all-scenario “Ningdiantong” V2G pilot in Nanjing, and a comprehensive pilot in Wuxi that integrates generation, grid, load, and storage resources.

To enable customer participation, the Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission recently introduced new electricity pricing policies for V2G discharge. Both public and residential facilities in the pilot projects can deliver power back to the grid at competitive rates. For example, using the proxy purchasing rate for commercial and industrial customers of State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power in August 2025 as a reference, peak-period discharge prices can exceed 1.22 yuan (approximately US$0.17) per kWh. Residential participants, based on peak-to-off-peak price differentials, may receive around 0.85 yuan per kWh.

According to Liu Lingyan, Assistant General Manager of State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company, a residential customer discharging 14 kWh per day, while maintaining sufficient energy for daily travel, could generate approximately 4,700 yuan annually in gross revenue over 300 days of operation. After accounting for charging costs, the estimated annual net benefit would be close to 3,000 yuan.
