NEW YORK—Leasing volume for Manhattan office space reached a pandemic-era high in July, good news for the hard-hit New York office market, though the amount of space leased was still 11.6 percent less than the pre-pandemic average in 2019, data showed on Monday.
Leasing activity in Manhattan, the premier U.S. office market, jumped 43 percent from June and 35 percent from July 2021 to 3.16 million square feet, brokerage Colliers International Group Inc. said in a report.
