Review: 2025 Rents

Rents Rise All at Once

Significant floor shortage caused by increased in-office work

In 2025, contracted rents in Tokyo office market further rose. In recent years, the upward trend has intensified at an unprecedented speed. This trend is driven by rising demand for office space, reflecting increased personnel and a return to the office. Contracts for large-scale spaces were concluded one after another and floor expansions in the same buildings were also active. There were only a few advertised floors in the latter half of the year. As options for relocation destinations become limited, demand is even spreading to suburban areas.
