- Availability has continued to increase, especially sublease availability which is now at a record high of 7.3 msf, as occupiers reevaluate their space needs post-pandemic.
- Average asking rents have increased 4.8% from a year ago as new expensive projects have delivered vacant while high-priced sublease space remains on the market.
