- Positive net absorption continued into Q4 2025, marking the second consecutive quarter of gains, though year-to-date figures remained negative due to occupancy losses at the start of the year. Even so, the flurry of leases signed at the end of 2025 signals continued occupancy growth for 2026.
- Groundbreakings increased this quarter as active construction projects expanded significantly, reaching 12.3 million sq. ft. of starts for the year—its highest point since 2022—driven by developer confidence in targeted size ranges, specifically big box.
- Vacancy rates saw a slight quarter-over-quarter increase, aligning with CBRE's forecast for a peak in early 2026, followed by expected stabilization later in the year.
