With demand still uneven, policy and capital are increasingly aimed at reducing lower-tier supply, stabilizing occupancy and repositioning older buildings for new uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That shift is showing up in the metrics, as well. The metro had one of the thinnest construction pipelines among major U.S. metros as of April, according to Yardi Matrix information. In addition, sale prices remained deeply discounted relative to other gateway markets and vacancy eased only gradually. However, the Windy City\u2019s investment volume ranked in the top 10 nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"Office Sales Volume in Gateway Markets\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-IYpZa\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/IYpZa\/4\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"462\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">(function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})();<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Across 2025 and early 2026, Chicago\u2019s most significant office market moves were on the inventory side. The city leaned on tax-increment financing and other incentives to advance several major Loop office-to-residential conversions, led by the LaSalle Street Reimagined initiative involving 105 W. Adams St., the Field Building and 30 North LaSalle. Together, these projects are set to take well over 1 million square feet of underused office space out of the city\u2019s stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sales-rank-high-pricing-stays-low\">Sales rank high, pricing stays low<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago\u2019s office investment volume year-to-date as of April clocked in at $714 million, ranking in the top 10 nationally. Manhattan ($2.9 billion), San Francisco ($1.6 billion) and Dallas ($1.1 billion) occupied the U.S. podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assets in Chicago traded for $107 per square foot on average. This figure was half the U.S. value of $214 per square foot but also the lowest among gateway markets. Manhattan ($712 per square foot) and San Francisco ($686 per square foot) commanded the highest prices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a9a66e29d8f1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"alignright size-full is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"1004790253\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/pgim-sells-chicago-medical-building\/silver-cross-hospitals-pavilion-a\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/03\/Silver-Cross-Hospitals-Pavilion-A.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"853,640\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1744975100&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Silver Cross Hospital\u2019s Pavilion A\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;https:\/\/wolfmediausa.com\/2026\/03\/03\/news-release-farpoint-development-and-the-landes-group-acquire-175000-square-foot-on-campus-medical-office-building-in-one-of-chicagos-fastest-growing-suburbs\/&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The five-story building is part of the Silver Cross Hospital campus.
