- Corresponding with the uptick in vacancy, net absorption in Tampa Bay has been well below the 5-year quarterly average since mid-2023, dropping 18.1% year over year.
- With 5.2 million square feet (msf) under construction and set to deliver in the coming quarters, market conditions are likely to continue softening in the near term.
