First-half vacancies negatively impact Downtown for the Year in Q4.
Downtown finished the year with the second largest occupancy loss in Atlanta’s office market. Vacancies by SunTrust, WeWork, and Georgia-Pacific during the first half of the year were too much for the submarket to recover in the year. Although seeing a nice positive bump in the third quarter, Downtown returned to negative absorption in Q4, albeit by a minimal amount. Following the first-half losses, overall vacancy has remained relatively level ending 2021 at 15.4%. With the ongoing pandemic affecting office decisions, the submarket has struggled to gain any traction on the leasing side. This will put pressure on space absorption in 2022.
