PALO ALTO, CA—Office rents in Palo Alto have increased significantly since 2010, and have held steady for most of the past year, but as the end of the year approaches, class B rents are nearly level with class A. This news comes from the December 15 “chart-of-the-week” infographic from JLL, a data service the firm provides to customers and associates.

JLL describes this as a “blurring of the lines” between classes, and that a similar thing took place during the dot.com boom.
