Orange County’s medical office market showed signs of stabilization in the third quarter of 2025, with vacancy rates declining to 9.3% after a turbulent start to the year. Tenant occupancy expanded by over 100,000 square feet during the quarter, marking a rebound from the heavy occupancy loss in the first quarter. Despite the gains, vacancy remains about 80 basis points above pre-pandemic levels, leading investors to lower rents in 2025 for the first time in several years.
