New, Modern, and Empty Towers: How Long Will it Take to Absorb Chucri Zaidan's Stock?

The Chucri Zaidan region has been the target of significant real estate investments in recent decades, aiming to accommodate businesses and even serve as an alternative to Faria Lima. However, due to numerous factors, this did not materialize. SiiLA's monitoring indicates that since 2016, a large volume of office space has been delivered there. However, political tensions and economic uncertainties have slowed down the economy since then, all of this compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

During this period, the vacancy rate in the region fluctuated. In 2016, Chucri Zaidan recorded a 30% vacancy rate in the third quarter, ending the year at 29%. Improvement in the region came in the following years, with a vacancy rate of 19% in 2017. In 2018, an increase in stock raised the vacancy rate to 23%.

In relative terms, Faria Lima followed a similar pattern of ups and downs, but the region was already consolidated and had large companies and developments popular among businessmen. Amidst the pandemic, Faria Lima continued to see its vacant spaces leased by major companies, such as Shopee and Meta.
