This is the lowest that vacancy rates have been since 2006. The Austin Office Market continues to strengthen as large blocks of space continue to get leased and as more companies are on the move. Our advice to you is that if you are nearing lease expiration, begin researching and finding suitable options for your new Austin Office Lease while time is on your side. As vacancy rates continue to decrease, landlords will have the upper hand in lease negotiations so you can save time and money by acting now instead of waiting for vacancy rates to decline and rental rates to increase.
