Investment increased substantially compared to the same period last year, generating a total dollar volume that ranked fifth among comparable markets. Pricing also surpassed that of several peers, placing the metro ninth in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although construction activity remained above the national average relative to existing inventory, the Queen City’s pipeline ranked in the bottom half of the peer set. Deliveries dropped considerably, in line with broader office building trends<\/a>, declining by more than 90 percent year-over-year. Meanwhile, vacancies increased significantly, with the rate rising 180 basis points over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment picks up pace at high prices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte\u2019s office sales totaled $595 million in the first seven months of 2026, up 80.8 percent over the year. Among peers, the Queen City outperformed Nashville, Tenn. ($532 million) and Tampa, Fla. ($188 million). Austin led among similar markets with $1.4 billion in transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
