Writing with an update on the Chicagoland office market.
February 2020 appears to be a highwater mark for the market. It was one of the strongest Februaries on record, with almost 2 million square of office space leased in that month alone.
After February, only 1 million square feet was leased over three months (March through May). Total 2020 office leasing is down by roughly 1/3, compared to the first half of 2019.
Some tenants are reconsidering the downtown market. Roughly half of new 2020 leasing activity occurred outside of the Loop. Available sublease space downtown has increased by 425,000 SF this quarter.
