Monday is a reminder that every week gives us a new opportunity to grow, improve, and move closer to our goals.

I believe success starts with intention. No matter what challenges are ahead, beginning the week with a positive mindset and a clear purpose can make all the difference. Instead of focusing on what went wrong last week, I choose to focus on what can be accomplished this week.

Let's approach this Monday with confidence, determination, and gratitude. Small, consistent efforts lead to meaningful results over time.

Wishing everyone a productive and successful week ahead!

Market Update
Minneapolis Office – Rent

April 2026

Market asking rent growth stands at 1.4% year over year, decelerating from 2.5% in 2024 and below the market's 1.8% long-run average. Against the national asking rent of roughly $36/SF, Minneapolis trades at a persistent 28% discount. Cumulative rent growth from 2019 through 2025 amounts to a thin 11.3%, leaving owners rolling pre-pandemic leases with modest mark-to-market upside at best and, in the CBD, frequently negative effective rent outcomes once tenant downsizing on renewal is absorbed.

Market Asking Rent Growth (YOY)
Overall market growth: 1.4% (down from 2.5% in 2024)
Below long-run average: 1.8%
Minneapolis trades at a 28% discount to the national asking rent (~$36/SF)
Cumulative rent growth (2019–2025): 11.3%
Class A (4 & 5 Star) Snapshot
Asking rent: $30.00/SF
Annual growth: 1.6%
Vacancy rate: 18.4%
Availability rate: 22.2%
Well above 2015–2019 average vacancy (~8.2%)
Concessions elevated: free rent and tenant improvement packages at post-2008 levels
Gross occupancy costs:
CBD: $13.37/SF
I-394 Corridor: $14.84/SF
All-in occupancy costs: Mid-$40s/SF

Key takeaway: Concessions—not face rent—are driving every deal.

Class B (3 Star) Snapshot
Asking rent: $24.62/SF
Annual growth: 1.6%
Vacancy rate: 9.8%
Strongest tier supported by mid-market tenant demand:
Healthcare
Financial services
Professional services
Tenants occupying 25,000–85,000 SF continue to support pricing discipline and modest mark-to-market upside.
Class C (1 & 2 Star) Snapshot
Asking rent: $21.38/SF
Annual growth: 0.6% (weakest tier)
Demand erosion and shrinking inventory are creating a low-velocity, low-leverage environment.

Outlook

Rent growth is expected to continue slowing and could trend toward flat growth in 2026. Class A CBD assets remain the most vulnerable to negative effective rent movement if sublease supply expands further. A meaningful recovery will require:

Positive large-block absorption
Reduced CBD sublease availability

At this time, neither condition appears imminent.

📍 Minneapolis Office Market Update – 2026 🏢📊

The Minneapolis office market continues to face major challenges as remote and hybrid work reshape demand for office space. Vacancy has now reached a record-high 12%, nearly double pre-pandemic levels, with over 7.5 million SF of occupancy losses since 2020.

🔹 Downtown Minneapolis remains the hardest hit

CBD vacancy climbed to 22.8%
Large companies continue downsizing and consolidating office footprints
Many leases today are renewals rather than business expansions

🔹 Suburban markets are performing better

Healthcare and medical-office users continue driving activity
Roseville, Maplewood, and the I-394 Corridor showed positive leasing momentum
Companies are favoring well-amenitized suburban locations with competitive pricing

🔹 Key trend shaping the market
Even companies upgrading to higher-quality office spaces are leasing smaller footprints, creating continued negative absorption overall.

📈 What this means moving forward

Tenants currently hold strong negotiating power
Landlords may continue offering aggressive incentives
Office conversions and redevelopment may increase
Healthcare-related office demand remains one of the strongest sectors in the metro

⚠️ Market experts expect challenges to continue through 2026, especially if major corporations further reduce office space commitments.
