Here’s a quickbreakdown of the key takeaways from thelatest Office Space Demand Forecast(download the full report) released by theNAIOP Research Foundation. The U.S. office market is showing cautioussigns of recovery. Q1 2025 marked the fourthstraight quarter of positive net absorption,with 5.6 million square feet absorbedfollowing 7.3 million in Q4 2024. The nationalvacancy rate held steady at 11.8%, whileremote and hybrid work trends appear tohave stabilized. More employers are requiringin-office attendance, gradually boostingoffice utilization. Economic uncertainty still clouds the outlook.The forecast is based on a conservativeoutlook for the economy, and assumes a 70%chance of a mild recession, driven byconcerns over federal debt and shifting tradepolicy. GDP dipped 0.3% in Q1 due to tariff-driven import surges, not weak demand.Inflation is near the Federal Reserve’s 2%target, but elevated interest rates and newtariffs could keep pressure on the economy.
