“Tucson recorded its fourteenth consecutive quarter with no new construction laid in Q3 2025,” a report from CBRE Research shows. “Builders are taking a more cautious approach and have been reluctant to start new projects as the uncertainty regarding the future utilization of office space continues to deter new development.
“Due to these factors, construction levels remain low until more clarity emerges in the economy.”
Office space vacancies have climbed to 16 percent in the Tucson market.
CBRE predicts that nationwide, office conversions and demolitions are expected to exceed new construction of that property type this year.
