Record Vacancies Challenge Chicago's Office Sector
Chicago's office market is currently grappling with unprecedented vacancy rates, setting records for all the wrong reasons. As businesses adapt to new work models, the demand for traditional office spaces has significantly declined, leaving landlords and property managers in a challenging position.
According to NAI Hiffman‘s third-quarter 2024 Metro Chicago Office Market report, the office vacancy rate in Chicago’s suburbs reached an all-time high of 26.2%. That’s up from 25.5% one year earlier.
Not surprisingly, leasing activity was down, too, in the suburban Chicago office sector.
NAI Hiffman reported that total office leasing activity in the third quarter in suburban Chicago totaled under 1.12 million square feet. That’s a drop of 30.4% when compared to the third quarter of 2023.
