Chicagoland Real Estate Update
Latest Statistics in the Chicagoland Real Estate Market
1. Medical Office Buildings (MOBs): The vacancy rate for MOBs in Chicago fell in 2024, with average asking rents rising despite a robust pipeline of deliveries. This trend reflects the growing demand for healthcare services and the preference for convenient locations outside traditional hospital campuses.
2. Leasing Activity: Chicago’s Central Business District (CBD) recorded 1.7 million square feet of new leasing activity in Q4 2024, an increase of 28.4% quarter-over quarter. This indicates a strong demand for office spaces, including medical offices, in the CBD.
3. Suburban Office Market: The suburban office market in Chicago recorded negative 2.4 million square feet of overall net absorption as of year-end 2024. This suggests a shift in demand from suburban to urban locations, potentially impacting medical office spaces in suburban areas.
4. Industrial Market: The overall vacancy rate in Chicago’s industrial market rose to 4.7% in Q4 2024, driven by the delivery of 9.3 million square feet of vacant speculative space. While this is not directly related to medical real estate, it provides context for the broader commercial real estate market in the area.
5. Healthcare Real Estate Trends: The demand for medical outpatient buildings is expected to grow, driven by an aging population, increasing healthcare spending, and new technologies. This trend is likely to impact the medical real estate market in Chicago positively.
