Q1 2022 U.S. Office Real Estate Market Report
The national office real estate market continued its slow recovery in Q1 2022, but a considerable gap between current and pre-pandemic levels of activity persists.
With positive demand for office space for the third consecutive quarter and the amount of sublease space on the market leveling off, the national office real estate market is continuing to show signs of recovery. With that being said, the national leasing volume is still well below pre-pandemic levels. The pipeline of new supply being introduced to the market and corporate decisions around remote work could increase vacancy rates in the near term.
