Overview
Office Buildings & Corporate Campuses covers office properties — central-business-district towers, suburban office, and corporate campuses. It is the most distressed CRE sector, hit hard by remote and hybrid work, which has driven vacancy to record highs and values sharply lower, especially for older, commodity office.
Demand has bifurcated sharply: premium, amenitized, well-located "trophy" office still leases, while older commodity office faces obsolescence, soaring vacancy, and a refinancing crisis as low-rate loans mature into a high-rate, low-value environment. The sector is repricing painfully, with distress, office-to-residential conversions, and selective recovery the key dynamics; it remains fragmented and under significant stress.
Market snapshot
Office leasing sits within nonresidential building lessors (NAICS 531120) and is not separately disclosed by the Census Bureau, so the segment is not separately sized here.
