Salt Lake City continues to see the healthy job growth and office demand that has underpinned local commercial real estate markets this cycle. Office-using employment has been boosted by the rapidly growing technology and financial service sectors. Office rents posted moderate gains of around 2.3% over the past year, in line with the national index. This represents a decline from the healthier growth seen over the past few years, as gains averaged around 3.1% from 2014 to 2017.
