MARKET TRENDS
- Leasing activity remained subdued throughout 2023, with the total leased space of 0.5 million square feet falling below the 5-year average of 0.8 million square feet for the third consecutive quarter.
- While tenant-friendly conditions persist and rental rates decline, occupiers have the opportunity to secure significantly discounted space, whether through direct leasing or subletting in the near-term.
- The decision-making process for many companies will remain influenced by return-to-office policies and workforce planning, as they reevaluate their office space needs.
