According to a new report by Colliers International, the U.S. office market entered the year on a relatively strong note after the fourth quarter, with a sharp drop in vacancy and a healthy increase in occupied space.
But rents continue to languish, according to Ross Moore, chief economist at Colliers International and author of the report.
The fourth quarter marked a key turning point toward recovery, he says. “With the economy now posting robust growth, all that is needed for a full recovery is a surge in employment.”
