Across the country, office attendance is nearing 73% of pre-pandemic levels, and Western Massachusetts is seeing the impact. In Springfield, Northampton, and surrounding towns, employers are calling staff back — and demand for well-located office space is slowly gaining traction.
Here’s what this shift means for our local market:
-
Reduced vacancy in suburban office parks
Properties with easy access and parking are seeing renewed interest, especially from small to mid-sized firms. -
Higher demand for flexible layouts
Tenants want spaces that support hybrid work—think open floor plans, meeting rooms, and natural light. -
Opportunities for repositioning
Landlords are upgrading outdated offices to compete, while investors eye value-add opportunities across the region.
