What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Rents remain premium to traditional office, with vacancy still elevated but some markets improving. Strong funding activity and preleased pipelines suggest higher advisory and transaction volumes for CWK over the next 6–12 months.

  • Market rebalancing as construction slows and demand improves.
  • Q2 2026 life sciences rents: $64.17 psf; down modestly QoQ/YoY.
  • Construction under 6 msf; 69% of 4.4 msf deliveries through 2027 preleased.
  • Capital markets show momentum: $9.3b R&D sales in 4 quarters; IPOs rising.
  • VC funding $17.7b and 17 IPOs totaling $4.5b in H1 2026.
