— By J.C. Casillas of NAI Capital — The Inland Empire office market continues to show signs of recovery, with broad-based tenant demand pushing occupancy higher and absorbing vacant direct space. While landlords are holding asking rents steady to capitalize on the improving environment, direct vacant space decreased 3.2 percent quarter over quarter and 16.4 percent year over year. Vacant sublease space fell a solid 4.5 percent quarter over quarter, though it nearly doubled year over year to 135,149 square feet at year-end. Renewed tenant activity continues to chip away at vacant space, reinforcing the recovery. In fourth-quarter 2025, net absorption — driven primarily by direct space — totaled about 557,000 square feet for the year, marking a meaningful milestone in the market’s rebound.
