Charlotte Office MarketBeat Q1 2026
The Charlotte office market recorded 858,500 square feet of new leasing in Q1 2026, with vacancy declining 20 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 24.2% and asking rents increasing 1.4% to $34.81 per square foot, driven by strong demand from financial services tenants including JP Morgan and Charles Schwab, and the metro ranking first nationally in job growth with 39,200 positions added year-over-year. The market is expected to see continued elevated leasing activity, declining vacancy as new supply remains limited with only Queensbridge Collective under construction, and further rent increases particularly in Class A properties due to supply constraints and tenant preference for newer, higher-quality assets.
