A recent article published by the Naples Daily News spotlights how Southwest Florida is defying national trends with its surging demand for office space and exceptionally low vacancy rates. While many markets across the country are scaling back, Lee and Collier counties are seeing an influx of businesses drawn to high-growth areas, robust infrastructure, and a desirable quality of life.
Gary Tasman, CEO and Principal Broker at Cushman & Wakefield | Commercial Property Southwest Florida, shared:
