On Wednesday, VTS published a report on the state of the national office market. Across the country demand in March was just 29% lower than average pre-pandemic levels for that month, a rebound from a 60% year over year decline in January.
The report aggregates data nationally and breaks out seven cities: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington D.C., Chicago and Boston. Seattle is leading the pack, with demand for offices rising 1% compared to historical averages for the month of March, driven primarily by technology companies. In New York City, demand is down 24%, while San Francisco is down 26%, and Chicago 31%.
That is particularly true in New York, where there are 66 million square feet of unused office space in, according to Cushman & Wakefield. The borough’s vacancy rate for offices in the first quarter stood at 16.3%, almost double what it was six years ago. Subleasing activity is also up, as long-term leaseholders seek to offload unneeded overhead. Those figures illustrate that increased demand still has plenty of inventory to eat through.
Finance is leading New York’s office recovery, accounting for a third of new demand, followed by technology firms, which account for 13%. The city’s rebound is not impacting all buildings equally; upscale properties with prime locations are faring better than mid-block, Class B offices, whose tenants have struggled to make rent over the past year. “It’s really a tale of two cities,” Anton says.
So wait... These numbers are based off of people 'touring' office spaces, not actually renting? (That's what the article sounds like) So people are interested in looking at them and that's it?
In our opinion and observation, this is a good thing, and if done efficiently, can help improve the climate and city atmosphere
I hate working from home. Office life sucks but I miss civilization a lot more than I hate having to regularly show up at a particular place.
