Decisions across Charlotte’s office market continued in Q1 as the metro’s largest occupiers returned to the office.
  • Leasing activity nearly doubled quarter-over-quarter, with suburban activity accounting for a large portion of movement in the market. 
  • While absorption decreased in Q1, leasing volume is expected to remain high as decisions put on-hold during the pandemic appear to be moving forward.
  • The flight-to-quality trend will exacerbate a widening gap in asset classes as new construction delivers A++ and Trophy product. This provides an opportunity for older buildings to offer discounted opportunities and increase tenant diversity in the urban core.
