Office Space Market Nears Saturation Pressures Rise in Vacancies
Business Week reports a slowdown in the decade-long office space boom. New towers rise in major cities for two to three years, but vacancy rates remain high in many markets, with 55 cities at 10 percent or more last May and some markets showing 10 to 27 percent vacancies. Despite warnings, builders hedge bets on demand rising with white collar employment growth and firms trading up to larger, newer quarters.

The report notes high homeowner satisfaction with parks and facilities, and emphasizes careful planning, solid legal bases, and clear rights and obligations before sales begin.
