- A 51% increase in quarterly leasing activity from Q2 across markets is the highest leasing volume since the onset of the pandemic, and occurred despite Delta Variant concerns
- Long-term renewals and relocations are out-pacing short-term extensions in terms of square footage leased, signaling renewed confidence in long-term real estate planning
- Subleasing supply is leveling off in major markets that had seen increases over the last 18 months
