There are multiple markets that registered vacancies higher than the national value. Together with a rise in maturities and weak office-related job creation, the sector is likely to continue to struggle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"Top 10 Markets for Construction Activity \" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-TUvQe\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/TUvQe\/1\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"539\" 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,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}})}();\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>The metros with high office vacancies in June included Austin (28 percent), San Francisco (27.7 percent), Seattle (26.7 percent) and the Bay Area (25 percent).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the national listing rates stood at $32.87 per square foot, 28 cents lower than the previous month but 3.8 percent higher year-over-year. The metro with the highest average listing rate remained Manhattan, at $67.97 per square foot, followed by San Francisco ($63.01 per square foot) and Miami ($56.97 per square foot).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-construction-starts-fall-nbsp\">Construction starts fall&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The national office under-construction pipeline totaled 40.9 million square feet, representing just 0.6 percent of total stock, according to Yardi Matrix.

Markets that followed include Dallas, with nearly 3.3 million square feet underway, and Austin, with 2.7 million under development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Office investment during the first half of this year generated $23 billion, with properties changing ownership at an average sale price of $189 per square foot. The usual leader in investment volume, Manhattan, dropped to third place across the top 25 U.S. markets, with $2.8 billion in sales.
