Not exactly. The statistics paint a bleak picture — Atlanta’s office market vacancy recently peaked at 24.7% and occupancy losses were recorded for the eighteenth straight month. But despite poor stats and negative headlines, office buildings remain key places for companies to drive innovation, build company culture and leverage teamwork to achieve common goals.

  Market-wide sublease availability has declined for the fifth consecutive month, reaching 8.99 million square feet (MSF) in October 2024—the lowest level since August 2023.

  The Atlanta industrial market remains strong, with sublease availability declining by 196,285 SF in September 2024. The continued declining trend reflects robust leasing activity that has kept demand high, reducing the amount of available space. Overall market availability, which includes under-construction projects, sublease and vacant spaces, and occupied spaces being marketed, has also dropped, indicating an active market. Although construction activity in Atlanta has reached its lowest point in a decade, there are signs…

An onslaught of new development activity has led to vacancy levels in Atlanta not seen in nearly a decade – but Lee & Associates predicts the trend will reverse course during the second half of 2025. The primary driver is a lack of new supply in the development pipeline. New construction levels fell by nearly 70% year-over-year, from 36 MSF to 11 MSF, and the number of proposed projects, and those breaking ground, is near…

We are likely to see diverse market…
