Q1-2023 Minneapolis-St. Paul Office Market Update

Q4-2022 Minneapolis-St Paul Office Market Report
Forte Vice President, Katie Trevena, Principal, lends insight to the Twin Cities office market report recently released by MNCAR/REDI.

 

Overall vacancy rates continued to increase in Q1 2023 as large corporate users continued to downsize to reduced footprints and more subleases came to the market.  Most of the sublease availability remains in the CBD but market-wide sublease availability is at a record high.  Subleases typically provide built-out improvements, many are furnished and offered at an aggressive rate.   Landlords will have to compete with these spaces which is why we continue to see spec suites come available.  Class A product saw a slight increase in vacancy but continues to achieve high rental rates to offset high construction costs of adding amenities and a high-quality experience which prospective tenants now require.  Class B & C products will continue to be challenged with declining occupancy and rental rates.
