The pandemic caused a decline in demand for office space, leading to higher vacancy rates. However, average listing rates have not fallen due to factors such as the quality of space listed and concessions offered by landlords, which are wary of lowering rates and affecting property valuations.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-eaPsB\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"Listing and Vacancy\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/eaPsB\/2\/\" height=\"930\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Table\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The largest gains year-over-year were present in Orlando (11.6 percent), San Diego (11.3 percent), Seattle (8.8 percent) and Charlotte (8.2 percent). On the other side of the spectrum, Brooklyn (-11.0 percent), Boston (-6.9 percent), Portland (-6.5 percent) and Austin (-5.5 percent) recorded the steepest declines.<\/p>\n<h2>Life science properties continue to attract developers, investors<\/h2>\n<p>Office transaction volume totaled $4.6 billion at the end of February, and the average price per square foot stood at $232. Sales activity was concentrated on East Coast markets such as Boston ($666 million), New Jersey ($423 million) and Manhattan ($351 million). Despite a decrease in investment due to lower demand for office space and increasing interest rates, investors continue to find lab space appealing. Yardi Matrix expects that sales activity will be strongly driven by life science properties this year.<\/p>\n<p>Nationwide, the active pipeline featured some 123.5 million square feet of office space under construction at the end of February, representing 1.9 percent of total stock. Another 271.3 million square feet was in planning stages, pushing the rate to 6.1 percent of total stock. However, this number may decline in the future as many projects could be put on hold or canceled due to the increasing prevalence of remote and hybrid work in the economy.<\/p>\n<p>The largest pipeline on a percentage of stock basis was found in Austin (6.6 million square feet underway, 7.5 percent of stock), but also in markets with a strong life sciences presence; As of February, Boston had 13.5 million square feet underway, accounting for 5.6 percent of total stock.
