Since Q1 2020, newly built or renovated offices saw a net absorption of 127 million square feet, while older buildings experienced a negative net absorption of 236 million square feet. The push for 'return to office' has increased the number of tenants searching for office space by 6% in Q1 2024 and 28% since early 2023.
