But that didn&#8217;t hobble the overall momentum that is taking more American workers back to the office more of the time, according to Placer.ai data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, nationwide office visits were 31.9 percent lower than the pre-pandemic month of February 2019.

In places such as New York City and Boston, commutes were disrupted, Lafontaine noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In New York City, which has seen a fairly robust return to office in recent years, visits for the month were down 21.3 percent compared with the same month in 2019, but only 0.5 percent fewer compared with last year. The weather might have been worse than last year, but even so New Yorkers came to the office in similar numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/manhattan-office-market-update\/\">Manhattan Keeps Spot at the Top of US Office<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>In Boston, another place that endured blizzard conditions in February, office visits were down 42.6 percent compared with the same month in 2019, Placer.ai reported.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even Boston, which lags much further behind most places when it comes to RTO, didn&#8217;t see office visits decline compared with 2025. In fact, visits in Boston were at the same rate as in February 2025, which was cold, but didn&#8217;t experience a blizzard (Boston has seen more than 58 inches of snow so far this winter, compared with a total of about 26 inches last year).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/03\/Office-visits-across-major-cities.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"761\" height=\"443\" data-attachment-id=\"1004793068\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/weather-cant-cool-return-to-office-trend\/office-visits-across-major-cities\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/03\/Office-visits-across-major-cities.png\" data-orig-size=\"761,443\" 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=\"Office visits across major cities\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Dees received permission&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Office visits across major cities nationwide, February 2026 compared to February 2019 and 2025.

San Francisco topped the list in year-over-year gains, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-visits-stay-strong-in-october\/\">office visits<\/a> up 11.9 percent compared with the same month in 2025. Denver saw almost as much gain, with 10.7 percent year-over-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the 11 cities that Placer.ai tracks, however, those two are still lagging toward the bottom in office attendance, with Denver down 39.8 percent compared with February 2019 and San Francisco down 41 percent. Those places, in other words, still have a lot further up to go when it comes to RTO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even most cities closer to their 2019 visitation rates did fairly well year-over-year. Miami, down only 14.9 percent compared with pre-pandemic numbers, gained 8.2 percent when compared with February 2025, and Dallas, down 22.4 percent from 2019, gained 9.3 percent year-over-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe impact of winter storms indicates that there is still more volatility in office attendance on a daily basis as workers react to outside pressure,\u201d Lafontaine told <em>CPE<\/em>, adding that corporate policies will probably continue to spur RTO this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCorporate workforce reductions in 2026 might also continue to pave the way for more stringent in-office policies moving forward,&#8221;&nbsp;Lafontaine said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even in a gloomy February, office visits climbed to their strongest level for the month since 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1023,"featured_media":1004793071,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,23891,21742,21747,51037],"tags":[52442],"class_list":["post-1004793053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-national","category-latest","category-office","category-trends","tag-placer-ai"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
