Report Type
The office market has restructured. Acquisition decisions made on pre-2020 occupancy benchmarks, pre-hybrid-work employer assumptions, and pre-rate-cycle cap rate models are decisions made on a market that no longer exists. Office Reports provide the current occupancy context, employer density, comparable transaction data, and repositioning analysis that office investing requires in the market as it is — not as it was.
Request AccessCurrent vacancy rates and absorption trends in the submarket — not national averages that mask the enormous divergence between trophy assets in CBD markets and suburban product still chasing pre-pandemic occupancy levels. Understand where this asset sits in the real vacancy picture before underwriting the lease-up.
Employer concentration, professional workforce density, and company formation activity in the surrounding area — the demand-side indicators that tell you whether the labor market supports office occupancy at the asset location. Know whether employers are moving in, consolidating, or exiting the submarket before the next lease expiry.
Recent comparable office sales and lease transactions in the submarket — effective rent, concession packages, lease terms, and transaction structure where available. The comp base that reflects where the market is actually transacting, not where it was asking eighteen months ago.
How does this asset compare to its competitive set — by class, by amenity access, by transportation infrastructure, by proximity to the employer base? Positioning analysis that identifies whether the asset can command market rent or is structurally disadvantaged relative to buildings competing for the same tenants.
Fiber connectivity, power capacity, transit access, and traffic patterns at the asset location — the infrastructure indicators that increasingly differentiate which buildings attract and retain tenants in a market where employers are negotiating from a position of choice.
For distressed or underutilized office product, repositioning analysis evaluates alternative use scenarios — residential conversion feasibility, mixed-use repositioning context, life sciences or medical office suitability, and the zoning and infrastructure requirements each alternative demands. The intelligence that turns a problem asset into a thesis.
Office investors who are winning right now are not applying pre-pandemic underwriting models to distressed product and hoping for mean reversion. They are underwriting to current conditions — current vacancy, current employer demand, current comparable transactions — and identifying assets where the price reflects a narrative that the data doesn't actually support.
Office Reports give acquisition teams, lenders, and asset managers the current intelligence layer to do that. Occupancy context, employer density, comparable transactions, and repositioning analysis — assembled from live market data, not a CBRE quarterly that was already three months old when it was published.
For lenders with office exposure, the reports support ongoing portfolio monitoring — tracking submarket vacancy trends and employer health around each asset in the book without ordering per-property appraisals every time a covenant review is triggered.
Current vacancy and absorption data reflects what the market is actually doing
Submarket-level occupancy context — not national benchmarks that hide the real divergence between submarkets.
Employer density and workforce data validate whether the demand-side of the thesis holds
Company formation, employer concentration, and professional workforce indicators at the submarket level.
Repositioning analysis turns problem assets into opportunity theses
Alternative use feasibility — conversion, mixed-use, life sciences — evaluated against zoning and infrastructure reality.
