Additionally, the amount of space available for sublease more than doubled over the last year, to 118.8 million square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matrix analyzed space per foot by office workers, occupancy rates, and the potential drop in demand based on surveys of office-using employers. If office usage drops by 10% and companies reduce space needs by a corresponding amount, vacancy rates could rise by 7 to 9 percentage points. If that happens, vacancy rates could rise to 25-30% in many metros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further complicating matters, 161 million square feet of office space is under construction and slated to add 2.5% to total stock over the next several years. Higher vacancy rates will limit rent growth and erode property values, especially on lower quality properties, which may be converted to other uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile details remain fuzzy, offices face many challenges in coming years that involve a re-thinking of the nature of work and how to design workspaces in the future,\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardimatrix.com\/publications\/download\/file\/1279-MatrixBulletin-OfficeAnalysis-June2021?utm_source=Matrix-Blog&amp;utm_medium=Social\">states the report<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yardi Matrix offers the industry\u2019s most comprehensive market intelligence tool for investment professionals, equity investors, lenders and property managers who underwrite and manage investments in commercial real estate.
