Fort Lauderdale office market reports
Q4 2022
Fort Lauderdale bounced back from two years of pandemic-era moveouts to close 2022 with 559,197 square feet (sf) in annual positive absorption. The city has proven to be a popular destination for both in-state and out-of-state companies looking to reopen their back-office operations following the pandemic. This has put upward pressure on rates, which rose 3.4% annually in 2022 as strong leasing activity in submarkets like Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Plantation further draw down availability.
