New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, and Providence, Rhode Island, are among the largest cities in the Northeast, with a plethora of towering office buildings populating their skylines. However, none of these locations are listed among the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Top 10 commercial office markets for the third quarter.
Instead, the South and West dominate the list, with places such as Austin, Texas; Boise, Idaho; Chattanooga, Tennessee; and Omaha, Nebraska, plus three locations in Florida–Daytona Beach, Palm Beach, and Miami. Also absent from the register are metropolitan locations such as Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, and Seattle.
