At the beginning of June, the City of Hamilton released a report stating that the downtown office vacancy rate was 12.7% in 2018. This was a 1% drop from 2017 and the rate has been on a decline since 2015. This figure is much higher than the 4.9% office vacancy that is seen across the entirety of Hamilton at this moment in time. The report also touches on inventory and says that they “…anticipate the amount of inventoried space will continue to increase…”. A perfect example of Hamilton following a more global office trend can be seen right in the centre of downtown on the fifth floor at 21 King St. W. where “…the world’s largest global coworking provider opened a 13,000-sq. ft. space…”.
