Deep dives
Current Distress in the Office Market
The office market is currently experiencing significant distress, primarily fueled by headlines highlighting issues such as 'zombie offices' and steep discounts on office building sales. There is a consensus that the narrative portrayed by the media is often more negative than the actual situation on the ground. Notably, certain regions, like Portland, show alarming delinquency rates exceeding 40%, while other markets, such as Dallas and Miami, demonstrate resilience and stability. Therefore, while the distress is real and impactful in specific locations, the overall picture is more nuanced, requiring a more localized perspective to understand individual market conditions.
