Local currencies in active institutional use: **SGD / JPY / HKD / AUD / KRW / INR / CNY**. Lease regime: Short 2–3 year terms standard. Singapore/HK: net floor area. Japan: contract by tsubo (3.3 sqm). Class A Atlas normalizes all city-level rent benchmarks to **USD per sqft per year** using a trailing 90-day FX average so cross-region comparisons stay apples-to-apples; per-city pages show both the local quotation and the normalized USD figure. ## Related - [**All regions**](/regions) - [**Americas**](/regions/americas) - [**EMEA**](/regions/emea) - [**MEA**](/regions/mea) - [**Latin America**](/regions/latam) - [**Global Tier 1**](/regions/global) ## Editorial provenance Reviewed by [**Kenji Watanabe**](/about/authors/kenji-watanabe) — APAC contributing editor.
