The future of Philadelphia’s office market began to take shape in 2025.
During the year, top-quality office buildings recorded strong performance. Occupancy levels above 90% were achieved.
At the same time, tenants were drawn away from lower-quality properties. As a result, market separation became more pronounced.
Meanwhile, properties facing high vacancy were repositioned. In many cases, redevelopment strategies were pursued.
Additionally, several office buildings on the margin gained clarity. Capital was committed by owners or new buyers to secure long-term viability.
Throughout the year, office vacancy hovered near 20%. Importantly, this level remained relatively stable.
After years of rapid increases, vacancy rates plateaued. Consequently, improved predictability has been provided to property owners.
Overall, this stabilization has made it easier for owners to plan next steps. Strategic decisions are now being guided by clearer market signals.
