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. Lease rates remained largely stable, with the market average sitting at $28.36 per square foot in the second quarter. Trophy space, meanwhile, commands average asking rents of $36.52 per square foot, a $4.20 premium over Class A product. However, several indicators suggest that stability may soon give way to upward movement.

Landlords with quality assets in well-located submarkets are increasingly positioned to push rents higher in the coming quarters. That growth is underpinned by strong population and employment gains, with particularly robust expansion in healthcare, technology and professional services. Health and education services posted a 4.5 percent increase in employment over the previous …
