MELBOURNE CBD OFFICE REPORT

Melbourne’s CBD office market showed early signs of improvement in Q1 2026, with tenant enquiry rising and signalling an uplift in sentiment, although leasing volumes remained measured. Demand continued to be concentrated in prime-grade assets, supporting growth in net effective rents at the top end, while secondary stock remained under pressure amid weaker demand. Vacancy increased following recent completions and is expected to remain elevated in the near term given the substantial supply pipeline, though this is partly offset by the withdrawal of older stock.

MELBOURNE FRINGE OFFICE REPORT

Melbourne's Fringe office market is navigating a period of adjustment, with leasing demand shifting toward more affordable and flexible space options. While vacancy has risen in South Bank and St Kilda Road, rental growth continues in key precincts like Cremorne and Richmond. Investor interest remains selective, with well-located assets near transport and infrastructure continuing to attract attention.

Melbourne Industrial Report

Leasing volumes reached around 340,000 sqm in Q1 2026, led by the West and North submarkets. While vacancy increased to 4.0% due to additional backfill availability, occupiers continue to prioritise prime assets that support automation, operational efficiency and long-term network optimisation.
