We then analyzed the office footprint within each area from 2008 and 2018 to see where the expansion and growth was in the last decade. <strong>For consistency,<\/strong> <strong>\u201curban\u201d does not include the central business district;<\/strong> these metrics were calculated separately.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind when analyzing growth data is size. Suburban geographies are larger than their urban centers and, consequently, can handle far more growth. But the suburbs also tend to have more square footage already. So, while 4 million square feet added to a secondary urban location may represent a high growth rate for that designation, the same addition in a large suburban location may be quite low relative to the existing stock.<\/p>\n<h2>Regional Growth Favors Urban or Suburban, Rarely Both<\/h2>\n<p>Regionally, the areas of growth were relatively distinct. Urban areas in the Pacific Northwest grew by nearly 32%, adding a total 112 properties and 19.8 million square feet. The Midwestern urban areas added 192 properties and 21.6 million square feet\u2014an increase of 18.5% in the last decade.<\/p>\n<p>The urban areas of the Northeast region\u2014which includes Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston\u2014grew by 16.5%. This is surprising given how dense these cities already are and represents more than 55 million square feet across 290 properties. What\u2019s more, this designation doesn\u2019t even consider the central business districts, which collectively grew by 5.3% for an additional 24 million square feet.<\/p>\n<p>Also, no region added more square footage than the Northeast\u2014at 130.5 million. The Southwest region added more than 108 million square feet of office space in the last 10 years, but in contrast to the Northeast, a full three-quarters of the added square footage was in suburban locations. This relationship makes a lot of sense given the composition of these two regions\u2014with dense cities like New York City and Boston in the northeast and the sprawling suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston in the southwest; similar to Los Angeles and Orange County in southern California.<\/p>\n<p>The Western region was no different. Approximately 58 million square feet were added as a whole, 43 million of which was in the suburbs. This includes markets like Denver, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, which exemplify suburban sprawl. Driven by this phenomenon, \u201ctech corridors\u201d have also sprung up\u2014such as Buckhead in Atlanta, the Platinum Corridor in Dallas, and Silicon Slopes in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the reason for the greater expansion in the west is the availability of cheap land for development, as well as the adoption of office campuses versus office buildings. Companies like Google and Facebook also introduced a plethora of new employee amenities\u2014like free snacks and meals, the ability to bring pets to work, and free transportation to and from work\u2014creating an overall relaxed atmosphere that\u2019s been historically absent in the office buildings of dense city centers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/regional-map.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25038 size-full\" title=\"Added Rentable Square Footage by US Region\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/regional-map.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/regional-map.png 800w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/regional-map.png?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/regional-map.png?resize=533,300 533w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/regional-map.png?resize=768,432 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Salt Lake City: An Early Silicon Valley<\/h2>\n<p>The Bay Area is punctuated by one of the most striking suburban expansions. In 2008, primary suburban locations held most of the market\u2019s office space with 141 million square feet. But, 10 years later, the same area added another 28 million square feet\u2014an increase of 20%. This is an impressive feat, to be sure, given that almost all this development was in Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Companies that defined this transformation include big names like Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Facebook, Google, and Uber. From one of the country\u2019s first radio stations to the first silicon computer processing company to today,\u00a0Silicon Valley has been\u00a0the center of the tech\u00a0world for more than half a century, and it remains home to\u00a0many\u00a0companies whose products\u00a0have changed our lives.<\/p>\n<p>However, with skyrocketing costs of living and the increasing ease and popularity of remote working, Silicon Valley\u2019s popularity is starting to wane. For example, Salt Lake City has recently seen impressive growth on the heels of the Bay Area. Silicon Slopes\u2014Utah\u2019s tech corridor along I-15 south to Lehi and Provo\u2014has accounted for most of the development, adding more than 9 million square feet of office space since 2008.<\/p>\n<p>The area has also drawn tech industry giants the likes of Oracle, Visa, and Tesla. The presence of these companies in turn draws plenty of talent to the area and drives demand for various workspace options. A thriving coworking scene plays a key role in the productivity of freelancers or remote workers, as many want the option to conduct their daily activities in a dedicated space.

Much like Salt Lake City, the cheaper cost of living in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/az\/phoenix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Phoenix<\/a> and access to an increasingly educated workforce has incentivized large corporations such as IBM and Boeing to move or expand their offices here.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 131 properties added in the last 10 years, 111 were suburban, representing 11.6 million square feet. Most of this growth was in the east valley along the 101 in Chandler, Tempe, and Scottsdale. Though, the single largest addition was in the urban part of Tempe along the lake. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-property\/us\/az\/tempe\/marina-heights-building-a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Marina Heights campus<\/a>\u2014completed in 2017 and State Farm\u2019s regional headquarters\u2014has 2 million square feet of office space across five buildings.<\/p>\n<h2>Seattle and Portland Grow Together<\/h2>\n<p>The Pacific Northwest markets of Seattle and Portland grew by 17% and 11.2%, respectively, and in very similar ways. The primary urban areas here expanded by far larger margins than the suburbs and the CBDs.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/wa\/seattle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seattle<\/a> market, Bellevue, combined with the central neighborhoods of Lake Union, Denny Triangle, Belltown, and Pioneer Square, increased their office footprint by almost 50%, adding 13.9 million square feet. By comparison, the rest of the market added 8.25 million square feet combined. The expansion of Amazon&#8217;s campus is responsible for much of this growth, but it has also attracted many\u00a0other businesses to the area, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Portland\u2019s primary urban areas\u2014including the Pearl District, Chinatown, and the West End\u2014collectively grew by 24%, adding 3.6 million square feet. All other neighborhoods in Portland collectively added 3.2 million square feet. Portland\u2019s Urban Growth Boundary policies are at least part of the reason for the concentrated development in urban areas.<\/p>\n<h2>Diverse Growth Trends in the Lone Star State<\/h2>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"b6ffbee0-70e7-45e9-b88b-a1ae8751b14e\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Texas Office Inventory Evolution 2008-2018\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Texas markets have also had considerable growth, but in different ways. Like the Bay Area, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/houston\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Houston<\/a> and Dallas-Fort Worth have had similar growth in the primary suburban areas. But expansion has been localized to only a few areas. In Houston, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/montgomery-county\/the-woodlands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Woodlands<\/a> alone added over 5.7 million square feet. The Energy Corridor and adjacent neighborhoods\u2014including Memorial Villages, Westchase, and Briargrove\u2014added a whopping 47 buildings totaling 12.5 million square feet.<\/p>\n<p>The Platinum Corridor, Plano, and Las Colinas grew the most in Dallas. These primary suburban locations collectively added 17.7 million square feet\u2014a 19% increase in 10 years\u2014but also represented more than half of all square footage added in the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/dallas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dallas<\/a>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/fort-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fort Worth<\/a> market. Dallas continues to be a popular choice for many company headquarters, including Exxon Mobil and McKesson.<\/p>\n<p>However, Austin\u2019s entire suburban market grew more than 22%. Both primary and secondary locations added 11.2 million square feet across 98 properties. Yet, downtown Austin grew by a higher margin\u2014more than 25%. In the last decade, 15 properties were built in Austin\u2019s CBD\u2014adding more than 2 million square feet\u2014with Google, Deloitte and Cirrus Logic opting for downtown locations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/austin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Austin<\/a> has also become one of the cities that is drawing startups and tech sector jobs from the Pacific Northwest and Silicon Valley, largely due to the cheaper cost of living and highly educated talent. Other cities that have seen similar growth are Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and Nashville.<\/p>\n<p>In general, Texas appears to have been quite attractive, but compared to Dallas and Houston, Austin\u2019s expansion is far more significant given its size. While its population is less than one-third the size of Dallas and Houston, Austin had a similar amount of development, meaning Austin grew by a slightly larger margin than the other two.<\/p>\n<h2>Downtowns Take the Spotlight in Largest Cities<\/h2>\n<p>Suburbia isn\u2019t the only place that\u2019s growing, though. Growth is easier in less dense areas, but distressed neighborhoods have benefits, as well. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/pa\/philadelphia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philadelphia<\/a>\u2019s secondary urban areas have built 28 properties since 2008, adding more than 5.8 million square feet. Similarly, Chicago\u2019s West Loop neighborhood of Fulton Market has considerably gentrified in the last decade and seen 1.9 million square feet of office space added across 11 properties, almost doubling its office space from 2008. Many historic manufacturing buildings have been transformed into class A office spaces, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-property\/us\/il\/chicago\/210-north-green\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">210 North Green Street<\/a> building that added 69,185 square feet, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-property\/us\/il\/chicago\/801-811-fulton-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">811 Fulton Market<\/a> with 61,700 square feet of office space.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/il\/chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chicago<\/a> is also one of only a few markets to see substantial growth in its CBD. It added 10 properties and 7.8 million square feet of office space to the Loop and River North, including the 1.2 million-square-foot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-property\/us\/il\/chicago\/150-north-riverside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">150 North Riverside Plaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/ChicagoManhattan-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25033 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/ChicagoManhattan-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/ChicagoManhattan-1.png 799w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/ChicagoManhattan-1.png?resize=150,58 150w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/ChicagoManhattan-1.png?resize=591,230 591w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/ChicagoManhattan-1.png?resize=768,299 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Manhattan and Los Angeles also added significant square footage to their CBDs.

Most of the construction occurred down the hill from Grand Avenue. Seven of the nine primary properties are within one block of South Broadway along the periphery of the primary downtown area. Despite the modest growth, though, its future is bright. A total of 32 projects are either slated to start or are currently under construction and will add almost 6 million square feet to LA\u2019s downtown office footprint in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>LA\u2019s primary urban areas added the most square footage. They grew by 10% in the last decade, translating to the addition of 8.7 million square feet of office space. These areas encompass Hollywood, Culver City, Santa Monica, and the Jefferson Corridor in Marina Del Rey\u2014easily the largest amount of office square footage in the region.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/Los-AngelesMiami-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25035\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/Los-AngelesMiami-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/Los-AngelesMiami-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/Los-AngelesMiami-1.png?resize=150,59 150w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/Los-AngelesMiami-1.png?resize=591,230 591w, https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/Los-AngelesMiami-1.png?resize=768,300 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition to these top-tier cities, Miami also added significant square footage to its CBD and primary urban neighborhoods.

Two large contributions were the completions of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-property\/us\/fl\/miami\/wells-fargo-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wells Fargo Center<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-property\/us\/fl\/miami\/brickell-world-plaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brickell World Plaza<\/a> which collectively added more than 1.3 million square feet of office space.<\/p>\n<h2>San Francisco Grows in the Urban Fringe<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/ca\/san-francisco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco<\/a> market\u2014ranging from Menlo Park north to Santa Rosa\u2014has seen decent growth. As a whole, the market grew by 12%, adding 17.7 million square feet in the last decade. A full one-quarter of that was added in the secondary urban neighborhoods of SOMA and Civic Center. In the CBD, the 387,000-square-foot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-property\/us\/ca\/san-francisco\/350-bush-street\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">350 Bush Street<\/a> building was the only property built since 2008. However, the primary urban areas surrounding the CBD grew by about 4 million square feet across nine properties, one of which was the 1.42-million-square-foot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-property\/us\/ca\/san-francisco\/salesforce-tower\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Salesforce Tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Minneapolis-St. Paul added very few properties to its CBD in the last 10 years: just four, totaling less than 1 million square feet. However, like San Francisco, the urban fringe saw plenty of development. The secondary urban neighborhoods grew by a whopping 37%\u2014adding 4.2 million square feet\u2014almost 40% of the total added space in the market. Wells Fargo\u2019s Downtown East Campus project was the largest addition, adding 1.2 million total square feet of office space.<\/p>\n<h2>Downtown Growth Stalls in Boston and San Diego<\/h2>\n<p>Conversely, the CBDs of Boston and San Diego haven\u2019t added any office space in 10 years.
