What You’ll Learn:

  • Gain insights into how developers and owners are adapting their strategies to navigate the persistently high vacancy rates in Seattle’s office market.
  • In the first half of the year, the Emerald City saw 2.5 million square feet of space delivered, almost nine times the figure delivered during the same interval in 2023. Understand the current office development pipeline and how these Class A office projects come to fruition in today’s volatile market conditions.
  • Explore the factors contributing to the flight-to-quality trend in the Seattle market and how it impacts office design and development.
  • Understand the current state of Seattle's leasing environment and the growth of tech tenants taking space.
  • Learn how landlords are adapting office leases to meet the changing needs of tenants and employees.
  • Discover what innovative design elements are being incorporated into office spaces to enhance employee well-being and productivity and how these align with the flight to quality.
  • Explore how the market is differentiating between premium, amenity-rich spaces and older, traditional offices in terms of vacancy challenges and tenant preferences.

 

How You’ll Do More Business: 

Seattle's office market is gradually improving, with vacancy rates decreasing and upcoming office projects nearly doubling compared to last year. While it will take some time to return to pre-pandemic levels, the current market is positive and there's an abundance to discuss. Join us for an insightful event as we bring in experts to explore the current state of the office leasing environment, deals, distressed assets, tech tenants, design trends and essential features to attract and retain tenants.
