MARKET TRENDS
- South Florida leasing activity has backed off from recent highs partly due to a slowdown in office-using employment growth, which has eased along with tenant demand
- Flight to quality still prevails as tenants show a strong preference for high-quality office space, with leasing activity that did occur predominantly focused on this part of the market
- Rent growth has slowed across the three South Florida markets, but new urban construction which commands the highest asking rents, keeps overall pricing at record highs
