Sydney - Office
The overall office market vacancy rate for Sydney CBD is currently sitting at 11.3% as of January 2023, being the highest vacancy rate for over the past decade. Leasing activity has slowed during Q4 2022 because of inflation, rising interest rates and the uncertainty in the overall global economy as these factors have damped business confidence.
