OFFICE MARKET REPORT: SUMMER 2023
Atlanta’s office market suffered the third-worst quarterly absorption amount of -1.7 MSF, after Q4-20 (-1.9 MSF) & Q1-21 (-3.1 MSF). YTD the market is -2 MSF in absorption and on pace for one of its worst years ever. Vacancy rates climbed 100 basis points while rental rates continue to rise, as landlords need to get higher rates in the face of stiff concessions. Amenity-rich, walkable buildings are better at retaining tenants than basic buildings, and several large employers like AT&T and Meta have called for their employees to be back in the office at least 3 days a week.
