                     In the meantime, vacancy rate for the said market edged further
              down by 1.3 percentage points throughout 2015 to 2.9% as at the end of 2015,
              according to Jones Lang LaSalle. Despite some recent pickups, the figure
              is still subdued at 4.0% as at mid-2016, whereas that for Central still hovered
              around the 1.5%-level, meaning effectively every Grade A office building in
              the region is fully occupied.  As Figure 14 shows, the persistent downward
              trend of vacancy rates since mid-2010 cannot be clearer.
