Construction activity in Austin’s office sector continued its strong progress, with the market standing out as the leader in square footage under construction, according to Yardi Research Data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developers added large projects, while deliveries slowed down in the Texas capital. At the other end of the spectrum, Austin’s office sales volume placed it among the lowest-performing metros, while two of its peers outpaced gateway markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metro’s vacancy rate remained as the most elevated in the nation and is expected to rise some more<\/a>, as the metro is adapting to stock that has been completed over the past five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Austin’s office pipeline still growing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of July, Austin\u2019s pipeline included nearly 4 million square feet of space under construction across 30 projects. This represented 3.6 percent of existing stock, well above the national figure of 0.9 percent and positioning Austin as the leader of its peers, with Nashville, at 1.8 percent, following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Austin\u2019s pipeline topped the charts too, the metro that followed being Dallas, with nearly 4 million square feet underway. The Bay Area ranked third, with 3.3 million square feet, followed by Houston\u2019s approximately 3 million square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
