The article argues that office space decisions should be driven by talent strategy and broader business performance considerations rather than cost alone, and that most companies negotiate leases poorly by focusing on rental rates while overlooking lease terms, timing, and leverage opportunities. Key claims include that companies are seeking smaller footprints in higher-quality Class A buildings, that starting lease negotiations 12–18 months early creates competitive leverage and employee input opportunities, and that seemingly cheaper spaces often cost more when construction and tenant improvement allowances are factored in.

Melbourne's CBD office vacancy stood at 19.7% as of Q1 2026, but JLL analysis distinguishes between frictional, entrenched, and structural vacancy, identifying approximately 4.0% of secondary stock as structurally vacant and 6.0% of prime stock as entrenched vacant, suggesting only 9.7% of the headline figure represents genuinely competitive space. The research attributes elevated vacancy primarily to supply-driven factors, with 675,000 square meters of new office space completed between Q1 2020 and Q1 2026 (12.5% of total stock), and identifies building obsolescence as a key driver, with older assets from the 1980s or earlier representing 58.4% of secondary stock and containing 120,500 square meters of structural vacancy concentrated in the Western Core precinct.
