Atlanta’s commercial office market is at a pivotal moment, caught between signs of stabilization and the lingering effects of a post-pandemic reset.

Direct vacancy rates surpassed 24 percent for the first time and are hovering near all-time highs.

Leasing: quality vs. quantity Despite economic headwinds, leasing …
