Miami’s Office Market Stabilizes: What This Means for Real Estate in 2025
Miami’s office market is entering a new phase, adjusting to post-pandemic realities and stabilizing into a “new normal.” According to a report by GlobeSt, leasing activity in Q4 2024 dropped 24% year-over-year, with absorption turning negative. Despite these challenges, there are encouraging signs for 2025, including rising asking rents, strong demand for quality spaces, and an anticipated rebound in absorption as tenants move into newly delivered buildings.
For businesses and investors, this period of stabilization presents opportunities to capitalize on Miami’s evolving office sector. At Agora Real Estate Group, we help clients navigate this dynamic market, securing office spaces that align with their operational needs and long-term strategies.
1. A Slowdown in Leasing, But Growth Ahead
The fourth quarter of 2024 saw leasing activity dip to 3.7 million square feet, a 24% decline year-over-year. Absorption also turned negative at -51,370 square feet, reflecting the delivery of 964,000 square feet of new office space. While this may signal a temporary imbalance, experts expect absorption to rebound as tenants occupy these new buildings in 2025.
Agora Real Estate Group works closely with tenants and investors to identify opportunities in high-quality office spaces, ensuring clients are well-positioned to take advantage of Miami’s expected market recovery.
2. Rising Rents and Demand for Quality Spaces
One of the bright spots in Miami’s office market is the continued demand for high-quality inventory, which has driven asking rents up by 6.6% year-over-year to $61.49 per square foot. This trend underscores the importance of premium office spaces in attracting tenants who prioritize location, amenities, and modern design.
Agora specializes in connecting clients with top-tier office properties that meet the demands of today’s workforce, from hybrid work environments to collaborative spaces that foster innovation.

3. Miami Outpaces National Trends in Office Occupancy
Miami’s office occupancy levels have reached 77% of 2019 figures, significantly higher than the national average of 60.8%, according to GlobeSt. This reflects the city’s resilience and the cultural emphasis on in-office collaboration. Companies like UBS Financial Services and Regus are taking advantage of this trend, with new leases in Coral Gables and Miami Beach, respectively.
At Agora, we help businesses secure office spaces in Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods, ensuring they benefit from the city’s unique market dynamics and higher-than-average office attendance rates.

4. Opportunities for Investors Amid Stabilization
Office sales activity in Miami showed a 29% year-over-year increase, reaching $878 million in 2024. While still below pre-pandemic levels, this growth signals investor confidence in Miami’s office sector. As construction activity slowed by 45% in Q4, existing high-quality office buildings are becoming increasingly valuable assets for investors.
Agora Real Estate Group provides expert guidance to investors, helping them identify properties with strong potential for long-term returns in Miami’s stabilizing office market.
5. Looking Ahead to 2025
While the Miami office market experienced a slowdown in 2024, the outlook for 2025 is optimistic. With tenants expected to move into newly delivered buildings, and demand for premium office spaces driving rental growth, Miami remains an attractive market for both tenants and investors.
