Top 3: Discover the Largest Office Leases in Sao Paulo's Price Regions

In the second quarter of 2023, the occupancy rate for high-end office spaces in São Paulo's prime corporate districts experienced a slight increase from 21.5% in 1Q23 to 22.6% by the close of April through June. These insights are from Market Analytics, the SiiLA real estate intelligence platform.

Despite nearly 24,000 square meters of total leases (gross absorption), the number is considered relatively low when compared to averages from other periods. Furthermore, net absorption (measuring the difference between new occupancy and area returns) closed at a negative -15,818 square meters. The last six quarters concluded with positive indicators.
