Cincinnati is driven by a diverse range of office-using tenants, while the bulk of
activity has historically belonged to medical, data, and marketing and branding
firms. The office sector continues to experience new development, with
particular renewed interest in the suburban markets, which ended 2014 with
over 450,000 square feet of office space under construction.
The Cincinnati economy is humming, moving from its slow-gear recovery
stages and now poised for accelerated growth and expansion. A number of
high-profile capital investments announced in 2014 have marked a continually
improving real estate market and metro as a whole, while strengthening
employment figures indicate the growing strength in the Cincinnati labor
market. In fact, the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber expects local
employment to increase by 2.0 percent through 2015, bringing with it an
increase of nearly 21,000 net new jobs.
