Read the bifurcation

Taipei's broad Class A index reads 4.2% vacancy and trends rising. That headline masks a real bifurcation — trophy product (Xinyi Planning District) is structurally tight; older Class A and Class B carry the long tail. Cycle decisions should be made at the submarket and tier level, not at the headline.
