More than two million sf of the sublease space is class A, said Mike Buls, who compiles the report, and that is having an impact on class A rental rates. Class A sublease space is advertised at higher rates than similar direct space. The average advertised class A sublease rate is $30.03 per sf while the direct class A average advertised rate is $29.46 per sf.

The amount of sublease and direct space has reached 6.5 million sf for an overall vacancy rate of 20.49%, according to Buls.
