by John Nelson

By Brett Reese of CP Group After several years of disruption, the office market is beginning to show meaningful signs of recovery. Market fundamentals are strengthening, sentiment is shifting and the data backs it up. Office sales totaled $64.3 billion last year, up nearly 21 percent from 2023, according to MSCI Real Assets. Net absorption also turned positive, with 6.5 million more square feet of U.S. office space leased than vacated, marking the most substantial annual gains since 2019.  Rent growth has been substantial across key markets, lenders are re-engaging and marquee transactions are driving capital back to the sector. These are the first broad signs that the innovative strategies employed by experienced owners and operators over the past five years are beginning to pay off.  Sun Belt momentum In Southeastern markets like South Florida and Atlanta, recovery outpaces national trends, driven by location, flexibility and amenitized space. Hard-learned lessons by tenants, lenders and landlords have reshaped the market. As the industry recalibrates, operators with conviction and capital can double down on what’s working. Debt is returning Perhaps the most significant harbinger of market recovery is the thawing of the debt markets. Just a year ago, lenders willing to underwrite …

Miami Office Market Defies National Trends, Sees Rent and Occupancy Growth

by John Nelson

Over the past five years, the national office market has faced its fair share of challenges: hybrid work reshaping demand, a surge in sublease spaces and rents stagnating in many cities. But Miami’s office market? It’s been a standout performer, and it’s soaring, not just holding its ground. From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Miami began to separate itself from other major metros. While cities across the country struggled to coax tenants back to the office, Miami became a hotspot for companies eager to expand. What began as an influx of interest from financial firms, law practices and tech companies quickly evolved into a significant shift. These weren’t temporary moves — these were long-term leases and major investments. Since 2020, Miami-Dade has absorbed nearly 3 million square feet of office space. Unlike other cities where growth has fluctuated, Miami’s demand has been steady. Even as leasing slowed down nationally in 2023, Miami managed to hold strong. By 2024, leasing activity picked up again, and the first quarter of 2025 saw impressive absorption numbers. A major factor in Miami’s success is its disciplined approach to office development. While other markets overbuilt, leading to high vacancy rates, Miami’s new supply has …
