The US office market continued to see positive momentum in Q3 thanks to strong job gains and renewed GDP growth. Vacancies declined 10 basis points as net absorption and rental rates rose in the quarter, according to a recent Colliers International report.

The economy rebounded to 2.9% in Q3, and the workforce added an average of 206,000 jobs in July, August and September, spurring further growth in the market.
