MARKET TRENDS
- The overall availability rate continues to rise, increasing 280 basis points (bps) year over year amid persistently muted leasing activity.
- Asking rents declined 0.8% year over year, though elevated concession packages further underscore underlying market softness as landlords compete for scarce demand.
- Ongoing space give-backs, coupled with limited new tenant demand, continue to suppress quarterly leasing activity and elevate sublease inventory.
