ATLANTA—The keyword for Atlanta's office market is growth. Strong growth—at least in most submarkets.

North Fulton featured the largest quarterly gains totaling 246,354 square feet of direct office space, bringing the year-to-date total up to 301,094 square feet, according to PMRG's latest report. The class A office space sector posted 206,595 square feet of absorption, with the largest move-ins involving Delta Dental Insurance Co. at 52,000 square feet and Renew Financial Group at 26,000 square feet.

“Over the last four years, Atlanta has added over a quarter million new jobs and has absorbed almost 12 million square feet of office space,” Bill Weghorst of PMRG, tells GlobeSt.com. “During that same time period, very little new speculative office has been delivered.”
