REBNY’s Office Visitation Report
Return to office has been top of mind for REBNY members, policymakers, and regular New Yorkers since the onset of the pandemic. REBNY has utilized Placer.ai data to analyze 250 office buildings representing over 180 million square feet. Our results show a clearer picture: that the office recovery varies widely between buildings.
The recovery is still unfolding. Visitation rates in Class A+ buildings are faring 10 percentage points higher than Class B and C offices. This flight to quality began before the pandemic, but REBNY’s report confirms that the trend has intensified since 2019.
The office market is critical not only to its owners and tenants. Thousands of retailers depend on the daily influx of commuters for their business. Office buildings account for, on average, about 20% of the $30 Billion plus gathered from property tax assessments.
