Some Metro Vancouver markets have had big infusions of new office space this year, with more on the way, while others are dormant on development. And these four nodes (via fresh figures from Colliers) are seeing vacancy grow.

1. Downtown

Inventory: 228 buildings, 25.7M SF total, including the just-opened MNP Tower.

Available space: 2.5M SF, an availability rate of 10%. Net absorption year to date has been 481k SF.
Coming up: 978k SF is under construction.
