Ben Azulay, president, national brokerage at Bradford Allen, recently joined John Williams on WGN Radio 720 to discuss the latest trends shaping Chicago’s office market and what the firm’s second-quarter market reports reveal about leasing activity across the city and Chicago suburbs.
During the interview, Azulay discussed the continued stabilization of the downtown office market, the ongoing flight to quality, and how office-to-residential conversions are helping reshape the city’s inventory. He also shared his perspective on why the West Loop continues to outperform other downtown submarkets and highlighted several developments that reflect growing confidence in Chicago’s long-term outlook.
The conversation explored the strength of the Chicago suburbs, where positive net absorption and steady leasing activity point to continued demand for well-positioned office space.
