Occupancy Gains Reinforce Inland Empire’s Office Market Recovery

John Nelson — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 12:37:00 +0000

— 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. The vacancy rate edged down 10 basis points quarter over quarter, supported by 106,095 square feet of space coming off the market. It now stands at 4.7 percent, 80 basis points lower than a year ago. Stabilization has been supported by shifting workplace strategies and evolving remote work patterns. Since the economy reopened following the pandemic, occupied office space has increased by nearly 2.1 million square feet, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Sublease vacancy has fallen 22.5 percent…

There are still great opportunities in the market, even with a 6 percent interest rate. The economic fundamentals remain strong, and cap rates have increased even amid higher interest rates. Cap rates have climbed since last year, and there are still great returns to be had. While many investors continue to struggle with the reality of higher borrowing costs, escalated interest rates are not going anywhere in the near term. In 2024, the Inland Empire recorded 74 multifamily transactions of eight units or more. As of the beginning of…
