The metro continued to post the thinnest development pipeline among gateway markets, while vacancies remained elevated and asking rates edged down year-over-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, the metro registered the highest office vacancy rate among the top 25 U.S. markets in January. As for development, Seattle lagged behind its peers, with only a small amount of competitive space underway at the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"Top Metros With the Highest Office Vacancy Rate\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-FWYkS\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/FWYkS\/1\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"518\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}});<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the plus side, this year Seattle started to lean more on policy changes than metric improvements to reshape its office landscape. The city approved a sale and use tax deferral for converting underused commercial buildings into housing, a move intended to make downtown office-to-residential deals easier to finance and, over time, pull older Class B and C space out of inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-construction-activity-behind-all-gateway-peers\">Construction activity behind all gateway peers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seattle\u2019s office development pipeline comprised almost 253,000 square feet of competitive space at the end of last year. This accounted for 0.2 percent of the metro&#8217;s total stock, half the national threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The metro had the smallest development pipeline share among gateway markets. Boston (1.7 percent) and Miami (1.5 percent) topped the charts. When also taking into account planned projects, Seattle\u2019s share out of total stock reached 0.7 percent, while the national average amounted to 1.7 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/08\/AMAZON-600-BELLEVUE-e1737993135931.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1214\" height=\"910\" data-attachment-id=\"1004725365\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/top-markets-for-office-deliveries-2\/amazon-600-bellevue\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/08\/AMAZON-600-BELLEVUE-e1737993135931.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1214,910\" 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;0&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=\"600 Bellevue\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;600 Bellevue.
