Boston’s commercial real estate market is ready for 2026, with strong demand in industrial/logistics and growth in retail and hospitality. Even though the city's life sciences and tech industries have cooled, they're expected to rebound in 2026 because of renewed interest in artificial intelligence and therapy-driven investment.

The push for more office-to-residential conversions is increasing housing activity, bolstered by the extension of Mayor Michelle Wu’s program. Multifamily rent growth is also on an uptick, driven by Boston’s resilient and innovation-focused economy.

On Jan. 22, Bisnow’s Boston C-Suite Roundtable Kickoff at the Westin Boston Seaport will have the city’s top power players discuss current market dynamics and what they expect to see in 2026.
