Rents for prime office space in Abu Dhabi fell by 12 percent in the first three months of 2010, in the sixth consecutive quarter of declines, according to a report by CB Richard Ellis.

The average rent for office space in the best areas is now AED2,300 ($626) a square meter, the real-estate broker said. The vacancy rate has increased by about 2 percent, according to the report.

“Landlords are becoming more and more anxious to fill their developments and to avoid long void periods,” said the authors of the report.
