Atlanta Office Figures Q3 2026

Market Overview

The Atlanta office market experienced a period of adjustment in Q3 2026, characterized by a net absorption of (528K) sq. ft. as several large, long-planned relocations cleared the market. Despite this cooling in absorption, the market displayed notable resilience: overall direct asking rents rose 1% quarter-over-quarter to $34.03 per sq. ft., with Class A assets climbing 10% since Q4 2023. With no new construction for the second consecutive quarter, the market is shifting toward a reliance on existing inventory. While larger occupiers are extending decision timelines, deal volume remains steady, and sentiment heading into Q4 is upbeat. Investors should note that while institutional capital remains cautious, private buyers and owner-users continue to drive transaction activity.
