Boston's Commercial Real Estate
Commercial Due Diligence Reports
Boston's commercial real estate market in 2025 presents a fascinating landscape of transformation and resilience. The city's commercial districts, particularly the Seaport and Financial District, are experiencing a significant shift in tenant preferences, with a growing demand for flexible workspaces and environmentally sustainable buildings.
According to recent market reports, Class A office spaces in downtown Boston command average rental rates of $65-75 per square foot, while vacancy rates hover around 12.3%, reflecting a gradual recovery from the post-pandemic era.
The life sciences sector continues to be a major driver of commercial real estate growth, with Cambridge and the Longwood Medical Area seeing unprecedented development activity and investment interest from both domestic and international investors.
The suburban commercial markets, including areas like Waltham and Burlington along Route 128, are witnessing increased activity as companies adopt hybrid work models and seek satellite offices closer to residential areas.
Market analysts predict a 15% increase in suburban office occupancy rates by the end of 2025, supported by improved transportation infrastructure and competitive pricing compared to downtown locations. The emergence of mixed-use developments, incorporating retail, office, and residential components, has become a defining trend, particularly in areas like Assembly Row in Somerville and the developing Suffolk Downs project.
