Q3-2022 Office Market Update
The Twin Cities Office Market continued a trend of negative absorption in all classes of space through the 3rd quarter, 2022. While there was less negative absorption in Q3 compared to Q2, the trend is expected to continue as companies search to find the right balance between employees working from the office, home, or a hybrid solution. It is expected that the market will see further consolidation in occupied space from Twin Cities corporate users. This will likely result in more sublease space being brought to the market raising the already high overall vacancy rate in the Twin Cities Office Market even higher.
