"Birmingham office market roundup"

"While overall minor rental corrections have persisted this quarter, some offices have seen rents inch up and vacancy tighten at the property level – an ostensible sign of some recovery in the market.

"The pandemic has transitioned into an endemic state, which has created a more optimistic environment for office recovery. At the same time, there are challenges ahead including the large supply of new offices in the pipeline. While a majority of offices appear to be doing well, a handful with bullish rents have high levels of vacancy. As such, recovery will need to be analysed at the property level, and not the submarket level."
