A look at key metrics for Madison’s Office Space Market – Q2/23

MADISON STREET BEAT– Q2/23

Madison office occupancy continues to outperform the national average due to low levels of speculative new supply and continued demand from the healthcare, biotech, and government sectors. Year over year occupancy levels remain mostly unchanged and appear to be stabilizing. While the number of lease transactions is beginning to resemble prepandemic activity, the overall space demand has decreased with tenants opting for smaller, but higher quality workspaces.

 

Sales volume in Q2 2023 was limited to a few smaller transactions after an active second half of 2021 and 2022. Increases in interest rates have made investment deals tougher to pencil out, in addition to increased lender scrutiny of office transactions.
