West Broward Commercial Real Estate Market Update | February 2026
Q4 2025 Results and What They Signal for Property Owners in 2026
With the release of the Q4 2025 West Broward Office Market Report, property owners now have a clear picture of how the market closed the year and what dynamics are shaping early 2026. While overall net absorption finished the quarter negative, the data confirms a market that is stabilizing selectively rather than uniformly.
Across Plantation, Sawgrass Park, Southwest Broward, and NW Broward, performance diverged sharply by submarket and asset quality. Plantation and Northwest Broward posted positive absorption and rent growth, while Southwest Broward and Sawgrass Park absorbed the impact of several large, high-profile tenant move-outs. As a result, vacancy increased year-over-year, reinforcing the need for disciplined pricing, proactive tenant engagement, and thoughtful asset positioning.
February marks the point where planning must give way to execution.
Key Takeaways from the Q4 2025 West Broward Market Report
The Q4 data highlights several themes defining the 2026 landscape:
- Net absorption ended the quarter negative, driven primarily by large corporate contractions rather than broad-based weakness
- Tenant demand remains concentrated in upgraded, well-located suburban office assets
- Average asking rents increased year-over-year, led by Class A product and select submarkets
- No new speculative office construction is underway, limiting future competitive supply
Rather than signaling a downturn, Q4 confirms a market where performance is increasingly asset-specific and strategy-driven.
What the Q4 Data Means for Property Owners in 2026
Tenant Retention Is a Defensive Advantage
With vacancy elevated in parts of West Broward, retaining existing tenants remains one of the most effective ways to protect cash flow. Owners who prioritized early renewals and addressed operational concerns were better positioned entering 2026.
Pricing Discipline Is Non-Negotiable
The report underscores the risk of relying on regional averages. Well-priced assets in Plantation and Northwest Broward outperformed, while misaligned pricing in higher-vacancy submarkets slowed leasing velocity. Accurate, submarket-specific pricing is now essential.
Turn-Key Space Continues to Drive Leasing Activity
Leasing in Q4 consistently favored move-in ready space. Tenants prioritized speed, certainty, and flexibility, placing well-capitalized, professionally managed buildings at a competitive advantage.
Demand Is Narrower but Predictable
Medical, wellness, professional services, and government-related users accounted for a meaningful share of late-2025 leasing. Properties aligned with these tenant profiles remain best positioned for absorption in 2026.
Submarket Performance: A More Selective Market
- Plantation emerged as the strongest performer, posting positive absorption and leading the region in rental rates
- Northwest Broward demonstrated resilience, supported by smaller expansions and renewals
- Sawgrass Park and Southwest Broward absorbed large tenant exits, creating near-term pressure but also future repositioning opportunity
This divergence reinforces that location, execution, and asset quality now matter more than market cycles.
