This surge is helping push vacancies lower, tightening the leasing market and reinforcing investor confidence in the metro’s long-term fundamentals. Orlando is moving decisively past its post-pandemic softness and into a new phase of growth.

Health and education services posted a 4.5 percent increase in employment over the previous …
