Commercial Real Estate Rebound as Pre-Covid Leases Roll Over

Liz Hart looks at commercial real estate after the sector sold off Thursday on AI-related fears. She notes demand is up significantly year over year, beginning in 2025, with clients looking for “the same or more square footage,” which she calls a strong positive. With a lot of pre-Covid leases beginning to roll over across the country, Liz sees demand strength in financial services and technology companies. “The AI companies are the ones that are most committed to the office,” she adds.
