Ottawa office market report
Q3 2023
Fewer posted asking net rental rates
As the office market continues to struggle, savvy office tenants may have noticed fewer asking rental rates are publicly posted, while the phrase "speak to the agent" has become the norm. Along with added incentives, tenants are looking for more favourable lease clauses as the industry standards are being challenged. Generous rental incentive packages aimed at maintaining posted net rents are no longer enough. The pressure to lease is causing net rent declines in all classes.
