After publishing its 2025 Atlanta Office Investment Forecast Report, Marcus & Millichap’s John Leonard commented, “Atlanta’s office market is at a turning point, with corporate expansions and investor confidence driving renewed momentum. As vacancy rates decline and demand for high-quality office space strengthens, the metro is well-positioned for growth in 2025.” Insights include:
- Atlanta’s employment market will expand by 27,000 jobs in 2025, with 2,000 new office-using roles, supporting long-term leasing demand.
- Vacancy rates are projected to decline to 19.4%, driven by corporate expansions and reduced new supply.
- Office construction will slow to its lowest level in a decade, with inventory growing by 0.4%, primarily in Midtown, Sandy Springs and Alpharetta.
- Northwest Atlanta and Northlake stand out as investment opportunities, with triple-digit vacancy declines and rent growth exceeding 1% in 2024.
The average asking rent will rise to $27.52 per square foot, supported by falling vacancy rates and a limited construction pipeline.
