Boston, November 09, 2006 - Reflecting a vibrant economy, Q3 was another rock-solid quarter for the office market, with healthy demand for office space nationwide, according to a report by Colliers International, a leading global real estate services firm. This success is in-line with a still robust U.S. economy; indeed, third quarter job creation staged a comeback with 167,000 jobs per month versus 115,000 in the second quarter, representing welcome relief. In addition, “office using employment” (employment related to information, financial activities, professional and business services) continued to post in excess of 2.0 percent annual growth, reinforcing a healthy office market.
