Accelerating Transaction Volume in Post-COVID Environment
Key Takeaways
- Eastern Pennsylvania maintained persistent growth post COVID-19. Occupier transactions accelerated in 2020 with
quarterly transaction volume well above historical norms in Q1
and Q2.
- Further acceleration is expected in the second half of the year
based on the substantial volume of new requirements searching
the market. There is strong potential for a record-breaking amount
of annual transactions.
- Year-to-date deliveries are down year-over-year, 4.7 MSF vs. 6.0
MSF. Pennsylvania was one of the few states to issue a brief stay
on most construction activity in response to the coronavirus,
delaying some deliveries and starts.
