Overall office market vacancy levels will remain elevated in 2024 in most markets as corporate space occupiers continue to downsize their footprints as lease terms expire. Large cities such as New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, and London experienced significant negative absorption in 2024 which increased office vacancy rates.

The retail markets remain quite healthy with positive absorption in most major cities during 2023. Overall vacancy rates, including single tenant properties, range from 2.5-5%. Asking rental rates increased throughout 2023 and that trend is expected to continue into 2024.

However, tenants who get lulled into a sense of complacency may be in for a rude awakening and an unexpected change of address.  Let's talk about losing your office space to another tenant.
