Office Space Demand Forecast, Second Quarter 2025

By: Hany Guirguis, Ph.D., Manhattan University and Joshua Harris, Ph.D., CRE, CAIA, Fordham University
The national market for office space continued to rebound with a fourth consecutive quarter of positive net absorption. First-quarter absorption totaled 5.6 million square feet, which followed 7.3 million square feet absorbed in the fourth quarter of 2024. The nationwide vacancy rate remained at 11.8%. Rates of remote and hybrid work have plateaued, and the corresponding structural shift in office demand is already largely reflected in current leasing.
