Investor confidence surges as Charleston office sales reignite

- 2025 is poised to break a three-year slump in office sales volume, signaling renewed investor confidence and market stabilization. If the momentum from Q1 and Q2 continues through the remainder of the year, total sales could approach $240 million, marking the first year-over-year increase since the downturn began.
- Office sales are gaining momentum as companies accelerate return-to-office (RTO) initiatives, driving higher occupancy and easing vacancy rates across the Charleston office market. As investor confidence strengthens in response to these improving metrics—particularly in well-located, value-add assets like 200 Meeting Street, which successfully traded in Q2—we expect to see increased investor activity in the months and years to come.
- Historically, Q4 has consistently delivered the highest deal volume, a trend often attributed to strategic timing around 1031 exchanges, year-end tax optimization, and capital deployment deadlines.
