JLL\u2019s Q4 report<\/a><\/span> documented 52.9 million square feet of office space leased, a volume that was 92% of pre-pandemic average and one that marked the third consecutive quarter of office leasing volume reaching a new high post-pandemic. <\/p>\n

The market had its first quarter of positive net absorption \u2014 meaning an increase in occupied office space \u2014 since Q4 in 2021 and there was a decline in availability.<\/p>\n

The record volume of inventory is also decreasing as more office buildings are being converted into residential dwellings and new office construction declines, as it did in 2024.<\/p>\n

The news comes as big companies are saying goodbye to hybrid work models and increasingly mandating employees spend more \u2014 or all \u2014 of their work\u00a0hours in the office.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on executive sentiment and related announcements in the past year, more companies are expected to gradually establish attendance requirements or incrementally increase them until office attendance largely resembles prepandemic norms,\u201d JLL (JLL-0.09%<\/span><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>) said in its report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fourth quarter was the culmination of a strong year of progress in stabilizing the U.S. office market, but pressures remain,\u201d the report concluded. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
