The Centrum CBD remains a secondary trophy cluster. ****What is the rental growth outlook?**** : Continued rental growth on trophy stock is the working assumption. International tenant demand (banking, tech, consulting) continues to outpace delivery. ## Editorial provenance Reviewed by [**Samuel Okafor**](/about/authors/samuel-okafor) — EMEA contributing editor.
