DESK

Goldman Sachs economists report that the listing prices of struggling office properties must fall by nearly half for conversion into multifamily homes to be economically viable, due to a significant reduction in demand for office space. The office vacancy rate has risen to 13.5%, the highest since 2000, with a forecasted increase to 18% over the next decade. Approximately 4% of U.S. office buildings are considered potentially obsolete. Despite a drop in transaction prices, a further decrease is needed for feasible conversion.
