San Francisco Office Market Report - Q1 2026
The San Francisco office market showed improving fundamentals in first quarter 2026, with leasing activity totaling 3.4 million square feet—the sixth consecutive quarter exceeding 2.0 million square feet—and net absorption of 855,000 square feet representing the strongest total since 2019, though overall vacancy remained elevated at 28 percent and asking rents increased 3.4 percent year-over-year to $48.70 per square foot. High-profile tenant expansions by AI-focused firms including OpenAI's 222,000-square-foot lease and Anthropic's combined 626,000 square feet across three properties demonstrated confidence in San Francisco as an innovation center, while demand concentrated in newer, well-located buildings with amenities reinforced a widening performance gap between high-quality and older inventory.

Seattle Office Market Report - Q1 2026
The Puget Sound office market's regional vacancy rate rose to 23.1% in first quarter 2026, a 30 basis point increase from the prior quarter, with net absorption totaling negative 486,708 square feet as leasing activity remained slow despite signs of stabilization and improved fundamentals. Large technology firms including Microsoft and Amazon have paused office expansions and reduced surplus space, while Seattle's position as the third-ranked U.S. metro area for artificial intelligence industry growth is generating demand for smaller, furnished "plug and play" spaces, though downtown Seattle continues facing elevated vacancy and weak tenant commitment.

The U.S. industrial real estate market achieved 176.8 million square feet of annual net absorption in 2025, a 16.3% year-over-year improvement driven by strong demand from large users seeking modern automation-capable facilities, with inland markets led by Dallas/Fort Worth capturing significantly more demand than historically dominant port-proximate markets. Nationwide vacancy remained stable at 7.1% for three consecutive quarters, asking rent growth slowed to 1.5% year-over-year in Q4 (the lowest since Q1 2020), and industrial completions fell 35% to 280 million square feet—an eight-year low—as build-to-suit projects increased to 29% of deliveries while speculative supply moderated.

U.S. retail market fundamentals strengthened in Q4 2025 with net absorption reaching 3.4 million square feet—the strongest quarterly performance since Q4 2023—driven by discount retailers, grocery chains, and sporting goods stores backfilling vacant spaces, while the national vacancy rate finished at 5.7%, up 40 basis points from Q4 2024. Holiday sales grew 3.9%-4.2% year-over-year with 73% of purchases in physical stores, though new supply remained historically constrained at 10.2 million square feet for the full year, the lowest on record and 63% below the 2015-2019 average, while the under-construction pipeline of 12.7 million square feet represents the strongest level in five years with neighborhood centers driving 67% of activity.

The U.S. multifamily market absorbed 355,000 net apartment units in 2025, the third-strongest year in 25 years, while 400,000 new units were delivered—a 26% decline from 2024—pushing vacancy to a record high of 9.3% and causing national asking rent growth to slow to just 1.1% year-over-year, the weakest annual gain since the pandemic. The construction pipeline has contracted materially to about 50% below its cycle peak, signaling stabilizing fundamentals and pointing to a gradual recovery in rents and occupancies over the coming years as supply continues to shrink.

In the third quarter of 2025, U.S. apartment net absorption reached 102,600 units—on track for the third strongest year since 2000—while asking rent growth slowed to 1.5% year-over-year as owners prioritized occupancy over rent increases amid economic uncertainty.

The first quarter of 2025 saw U.S. retail commercial real estate experience negative net absorption of 5.9 million square feet, the weakest quarter since the pandemic onset, with the national vacancy rate rising 20 basis points to 5.5% as tariff-driven cost pressures and consumer uncertainty dampened leasing demand.
