Private Buyers Take Lead in Philadelphia Office Market

The Philadelphia commercial office market has seen a significant shift in active buyers over the past 12 months, with private buyers and end users filling the void left by traditional institutional investors in the office sales market.

The Philadelphia commercial office market has experienced a major shift in buyer activity over the past 12 months, with private investors and end users stepping in as traditional institutional players pull back.

Private buyers now account for 66% of office sales, up from a 10-year average of 51%. This 15-point increase represents the most significant change in the market, highlighting how private investors are capitalizing on current conditions.

Industry observers suggest that this trend reflects the nimbleness of private buyers, who can act quickly in a volatile environment, seizing pricing opportunities that may not align with the stricter investment criteria and slower decision-making processes of larger institutional firms.
