Interesting Information:

  • In 20 years, inventory SF has increased 62.26%. Of the 10 largest submarkets, Scottsdale had the largest increase in square footage from 2004-2023 and will continue to attract businesses in the next decade.
  • Net absorption was positive for 16 of the 20 years in Scottsdale.  For 5 years, this market dominated almost 50% of ALL absorption in the entire valley.  We see this continuing into the next decade. Simply put:  Scottsdale will continue to be the place to be.

Conclusion:
Scottsdale has been, and will be, a great place for office space.   The primary reasons are proximity to decision-makers, quality space surrounded by great amenities, and a fabulous city to live, work and play in.  Scottsdale has one of the highest concentrations of high-level professional services firms and tons of executive housing.  Scottsdale Airpark is an amazing employment driver as well, helping this great submarket receive national brand recognition.
