Schaumburg Office Space Sees 90% Occupancy

What’s driving the shift to Hudson Square for media and tech offices? Here’s what’s shaping tenant decisions now: After rezoning, Hudson Square’s modern Class A buildings and flexible spaces have become magnets for companies that want more than just a Midtown tower. Creative and tech tenants are drawn to the unique mix of converted industrial buildings, walkable streets, and lifestyle amenities steps from the Hudson River. Upgraded infrastructure, new retail, and expanded public spaces make the area feel vibrant, supporting brands that want offices to reflect company culture. Access to strong transit and proximity to SoHo and Tribeca mean employees and clients can easily connect without Midtown congestion. Developers have responded by repositioning older assets with premium amenities, giving growth-focused occupiers real options outside traditional cores. A west side location offers the buzz of an emerging neighborhood while still delivering modern workspace standards. Tenant reps now have more leverage to negotiate favorable terms with motivated landlords looking for signature tenants in this evolving submarket. For office users in New York City-Manhattan, these changes open the door to more than just a rent negotiation, they invite a new way to look at workplace value.

Downtown Chicago Is Seeing More Office Conversions Than the Last 20 Years Combined. What's interesting to me is that this may be part of a much larger trend that has been unfolding for years. The first signs became visible in the early 2010s as major retailers began shrinking and rethinking their physical footprints. COVID accelerated a similar shift in the office sector, forcing businesses to reconsider how much space they actually needed. At its core, this trend appears to be moving toward more direct interactions with less reliance on both the traditional middleman and the traditional middle space. The numbers coming out of Chicago are hard to ignore: - 25 office-to-residential projects in downtown Chicago - 4 million square feet being converted - 3,900 mixed-income homes - $1.8 billion in investment >> More conversion activity than the previous 20 years combined! That may be one of the clearest signs yet that this shift is moving from observation to action. I don't think this is the end of the trend—it's probably the beginning of a much larger rethinking of how commercial real estate will be used in the decades ahead.

🏢 The DFW Office Market Is Shifting — And the Numbers Back It Up For years, everyone wrote off the Dallas-Fort Worth office market. The data from Q1 2026 tells a very different story. The DFW office market recorded 3.6 million sq ft of leasing activity in Q1 2026, just above Q1 2025 levels — signaling steady and sustained tenant demand. TenantBase But the number that really stands out: asking rents rose 6.1% year over year, reaching a new all-time high of $33.16/SF. And for the first time in 30 years, there were zero new office deliveries in Q1 2026 — which means quality supply is tightening while demand holds firm. M&D CRE At the submarket level, Arlington and Mansfield recorded over 250 office leases averaging around 2,600 sq ft each, showing strong demand from smaller and growing businesses.

Dallas Class A office just got a lot more expensive! Across premier Class A buildings in Dallas' top urban submarkets, including Uptown, Preston Center, and Central Expressway, quoted rates have escalated significantly. The shift over just 24 months is hard to ignore: 23Springs is up 41.5%, Sherry Lane Place is up 47.6%, and Premier Place is up 50%. The Crescent, The Sterling, and 8080 NCX all posted double digit jumps as well. This upward shift in what top tier space costs across Dallas' best submarkets is being driven by tenants competing hard for a shrinking pool of true Class A product. For tenants with leases rolling in the next 12 to 24 months, this may call for a shift in strategy. The space many office users renewed a few years ago may no longer be available at that same price, making proactive planning more critical than ever.

Another Financial District office sale shows how dramatically Boston pricing has reset. Hudson Group (Real Estate) and Assembly Investments acquired 230 Congress Street, a 151,163 SF Art Deco office, retail, and telecom building, for $23.7M — down roughly 69% from its $77M sale in 2015. The building is reportedly 76% occupied, giving the new ownership stable in-place income plus upside through lobby, exterior, and amenity upgrades. The bigger story: well-located, architecturally distinctive downtown assets are trading at a reset basis, creating room for fresh capital, repositioning, and tenant-focused improvements. Boston’s office market is not dead. It is repricing — and that is where opportunity starts.

The DFW office market isn't facing just a demand problem. It's facing an operator problem. Across the market, there's a growing inventory of well-located buildings trapped in a vicious cycle: owners who can't lease without investing, and won't invest because they can't lease. For disciplined operators with the capital, experience, and platform to execute, that gap is exactly where opportunity exists. In our latest article, Bradford President Kevin Santaularia breaks down how we view the DFW office reset, what successful repositioning actually requires, and why we believe the next 24–36 months could represent one of the most compelling acquisition windows in more than a decade. #CommercialRealEstate #DFWRealEstate #OfficeMarket #ValueAdd #CREInvesting #AssetManagement #BradfordCompanies

The DFW office market isn't broken — it's being reset. And there's a difference. Notably, there is not a demand collapse in DFW like some coastal and blue-state markets have experienced (think Preston Center, Frisco and Uptown).  Inbound job growth, user demand, and Fortune 1000 relocations have bolstered the occupancy of many of DFW’s 15+ office submarkets The next cycle of winners will be determined by those operators who execute a proven Business Plan — experienced in completing upgrades to mechanical back-of-the-house HVAC modernization, vertical transportation upgrades, adding spec suites, delivering amenity packages, and delivering security and life safety components as the number one priority.  Underwriting CAPEX and lease-up costs to a disciplined proforma timeline is key. A local operator who historically leases similar assets to market occupancies with rental rate support (low basis acquisition) is paramount. I recently penned an article of why Bradford believes next 24–36 months are the most compelling office acquisition cycle in over a decade. And, what our playbook looks like in practice.  We are crop-dusters in the sky and the best data is close to the ground. Ponies, rainbows, low teen yields, and private jets are for the elite Class AA institutional office crowd.  It’s a bit dusty where we canvas, but our bi-plane goggles are fully deployed. And, we get our Leasing and Property Management boots dirty more times than I can mention. As my father said many times while growing up, having the role of Plant Manager for the Louisville Courier Journal, “those presses aren’t going to run by themselves”. Be Present. Be accountable.

Denver's office market is navigating one of its more challenging cycles - vacancy sits among the highest of major U.S. markets as tenants continue to downsize and hybrid work reshapes space needs. But there's a silver lining emerging. Leasing activity is beginning to stabilize, government and energy-sector demand is providing a floor, and savvy investors are finding opportunity in the repricing. For those with a long-term view, Denver office is a market worth watching closely in 2026.

A continued trend being experienced across Manhattan's office sector is tightening direct space against the backdrop of a broader recovery. Partly it's a function of businesses both mandating return-to-office (even if it's hybrid) and enforcing it (e.g., badge swipes or the old fashioned "bed checks"). The other is supply & demand. The confluence of stagnant or limited new supply, coupled with heightened demand especially within Class A, translates leasing conditions that, while still frothy, are causing some landlords to become more bullish on their short-term outlook. This and more is discussed in Cushman & Wakefield Research's latest edition of our Emerging Trends white paper. A few key takeaways from that report:  · The composition of Manhattan’s availability decline shifted in 2026, with direct space reductions replacing sublease contraction as the primary driver. · Direct available space decreased by 4.4 million square feet (msf) in Q1 2026, marking the largest quarterly decline since Q2 2000. · Nearly half of the 7.1 msf reduction in Manhattan direct availability since Q4 2025 was concentrated within three Midtown submarkets – Madison/Fifth, Penn Station and the West Side. · Availability within Manhattan’s trophy asset inventory declined to an all-time low of 4.4%. · Robust leasing activity, limited new supply additions, and office-to-residential conversions emerged as the primary drivers of this trend.
