  "description": "Sublease availability, pricing, and quality in Taipei's Class A office market.",
  "oneSentenceAnswer": "Sublease availability in Taipei is concentrated in older Class B and lower-tier Class A stock; trophy assets like Xinyi Planning District clear quickly even when the broader market shows 4.2% vacancy.",
  "tldr": [
    "Direct vacancy is 4.2%; sublease overhang is concentrated outside the trophy tier.",
    "Sublease space typically prices 15–30% below direct asks for equivalent specification.",
    "Term-take risk and limited TI are the two biggest sublease tradeoffs.",
    "Trophy submarket (Xinyi Planning District) has the thinnest sublease overhang."

      "question": "Is sublease space cheap in Taipei?",
      "answer": "Sublease typically trades 15–30% below direct asks for equivalent specification. The total economics depend on remaining term, TI condition, and the assignment/sublet provisions in the prime lease."

    {
      "question": "Can I convert a sublease to a direct lease in Taipei?",
      "answer": "Sometimes. On longer-horizon takes, ask the landlord to write a fresh direct lease at sublease commencement — they get a creditworthy long-term tenant; you get rent-free and TI."
