Inland Empire’s Road to Recovery

Posted by: | Comments (0)
Office leasing activity was solid in all submarkets, with nearly 1.5 million square feet leased across the metro. Roughly 200,000 square feet of space is scheduled to come online by year-end.

The Inland Empire’s economy is strong, fueled by port activity and a bustling housing market, but that doesn’t translate into significant growth for the office sector. Although office-using jobs have grown by about 17 percent during the last decade, they account for only a small share (14 percent) of total employment. As a result, lease rates and development are increasing at moderate levels.
