by Sarah Daniels August 6, 2026

The Lee & Associates’ 2026 Q2 North America Market Report finds that commercial real estate fundamentals are improving, but the pace of recovery varies significantly by property type and market. Office and retail sectors are showing renewed momentum, industrial demand continues to recover unevenly amid trade uncertainty and multifamily fundamentals are stabilizing as new supply begins to moderate. Across all sectors, investors and occupiers remain highly selective in an evolving market. Sponsored: Download Lee & Associates’ 2026 Q2 North America Market Report. Industrial Overview: Recovering Demand Is Uneven Amid Trade Tensions Demand for North American industrial space in the second quarter continued to recover from slowing caused by heightened trade uncertainties that began early last year.

What’s Next for the U.S. Office Market?

by Matthew Auchincloss August 4, 2026

By Matthew Auchincloss The U.S. office sector may never be going back to pre-pandemic utilization levels, but enough time has elapsed and data compiled to make the case that the asset class is stabilizing. According to data from CoStar Group, leasing activity remained steady in the second quarter of 2026, with 115 million square feet of new leases signed (renewals were not included in the data). That remains approximately 9 percent below the quarterly average from 2015 through 2019 but is far above the leasing volume from 2020 and 2021. The national vacancy rate is down 50 basis points from one year ago and 20 basis points in the past quarter, currently sitting at around 18 percent, according to CoStar.

Class A rates currently sit around $43.76 per square foot, with a sharp divide between commercial business district (CBD) rates and suburban product. CBD rates dropped 10 basis points from the first quarter, but the $52.52 per square foot price tag is still up slightly year-over year (70 basis points).
