The commercial real estate services firm today released its third quarter statistics, which demonstrated that nationally markets remained stable during the past three months. Overall, though, the strength of these and additional top markets — including Midtown Manhattan and Dallas — was offset by significant negative absorption elsewhere. Out of the 87 markets tracked by Cushman & Wakefield, 27 markets posted a combined total of 5.3 million square feet of negative absorption during the third quarter, a third more than the 3.4 million square feet of negative absorption recorded in the second quarter. “The flow of tenants into new construction is beginning to impact fundamentals in some markets,” says Greenwood. “Developers delivered more than 11 million square feet of office space nationwide during the third quarter.
