Vacant, 18-story office tower in metro Atlanta set to implode Saturday
Why this matters
Office continues to trade in two distinct markets: trophy assets in walkable submarkets that are leasing at or near record rents, and commodity Class B and C buildings where the basis is still resetting. Underwriting on the latter has moved toward replacement-cost-minus, with credit underwriting now leaning on tenant covenant and remaining lease term rather than mark-to-market expectations. Atlanta multifamily concessions have started to compress in the Inner Perimeter, and industrial demand along the I-85 corridor remains durable. Office bifurcation is pronounced. For LP-positioned capital, the read-through is that the bifurcation is now a structural feature of the sector, not a cycle to wait out.
