Is there any good data available on the number of leases being signed (new not extensions)?
I'm trying to better understand "lease turnover" across the country, which is kind of an esoteric subject matter.  Reason I care is I'm looking at an opportunity that tends to make money when more people are moving in and out of offices (i.e., high turnover).  I'm guessing there should be a lot of turnover this next 12 months due to all the changes in work set ups, and a lot of people will be exiting leases or taking on smaller leases in more locations (hub and spoke).

Any help would be much appreciated!

Typically don\u2019t have the number of gross leases signed though in a market. As a proxy you could assume that Class A space is likely on 7 year terms, class b office on 5 year term so take total Class A occupied SF divide by 7 and you\u2019d get the average SF of turnover in a year.
