The 2026 Office Market Study
The BOMA 2026 Market Study quantifies the economic impact of U.S. commercial real estate—showing how office, retail, and industrial properties contribute to jobs, output, and local economies.
From offices powering innovation to retail hubs driving consumer spending and industrial facilities moving goods, this report connects the role of commercial buildings to broader economic performance across markets.
It also captures how these properties generate economic activity beyond the businesses they house—from construction and development to day-to-day operations and investment.
As the market evolves in response to shifting work patterns, e-commerce growth, and changing industrial demand, the BOMA 2026 Market Study makes one thing clear: professionally managed commercial real estate remains a powerful economic engine.
Sustainability
BOMA International has been a leader in promoting energy efficiency and sustainable building operations for more than a decade. One of BOMA’s top legislative priorities is preserving ENERGY STAR. With energy use in commercial buildings being one of the largest controllable operating costs for property professionals, benchmarking energy use, water consumption and waste output through ENERGY STAR’S Portfolio Manager is an industry best practice. BOMA is a 17-time ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year winner and strongly supports the ENERGY STAR buildings program.
