- DFW’s office market continues to show steady improvement in utilization, with office visitation reaching 67.3% of pre-pandemic levels as of February 2026. While this figure is just above the national average of 63.8%, DFW remains one of the strongest recovery markets in the country, ranking fourth among Tier 1 office markets.
- At the submarket level, DFW is behaving like a “tale of two markets.” The strongest performance is concentrated in the urban core and select close-in suburban nodes. These submarkets appear to benefit from a combination of strong amenity bases, proximity to established residential neighborhoods, and relatively manageable commute patterns.
- DFW’s broader trajectory remains positive, supported by employer mandates, rising tenant confidence, and continued demand for high-quality office environments. These factors position the metroplex to outperform many of its Tier 1 peers as 2026 continues to unfold.
