Increased RTO mandates result in strong YoY recovery in MSP
- The Minneapolis–St. Paul office market, home to several Fortune 500 headquarters, is experiencing a notable rebound in office attendance driven by stricter return-to-office (RTO) policies. These mandates have spurred an impressive year-over-year (YoY) increase of 11.4% in office busyness at major HQ locations, significantly outpacing the broader MSP market and national averages, which posted gains of 4.5% and 2.7%, respectively.
- While overall visitation at these HQs still trails market and national recovery levels, this strong growth trend suggests an approaching inflection point where HQ attendance could surpass broader benchmarks. As leading employers continue to emphasize in-office work and set the tone for other regional businesses, office visitation is expected to rise steadily into 2026. This momentum may translate into heightened leasing activity, signaling renewed confidence in the MSP office sector.
