The office vacancy rate has increased to 20.1% with no signs of slowing until 2026.

Sharing is Caring!

The office vacancy rate in the U.S. has indeed reached a record high of 20.1% as of the second quarter of 202412. This is the highest rate since at least 19791. The increase is largely attributed to the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has permanently changed work patterns, leading to a reduced need for office space.

Projections indicate that the vacancy rate is expected to continue rising, potentially peaking around the end of 20261. This trend is driven by long-term leases taking time to unwind and the ongoing shift towards remote and hybrid work models.
