The commercial real estate industry is entering a new phase of adjustment following several years of economic volatility, shifting workplace patterns, and changing capital markets. Across the Pacific Northwest, real estate leaders are navigating elevated office vacancy, continued industrial demand, evolving multifamily fundamentals, and renewed interest in emerging sectors such as data centers and life sciences. As organizations close the books on 2026, the question facing many industry leaders is what comes next. This CoreNet Global Washington Chapter annual forecast brings together economists, occupiers, developers, and market leaders to reflect on the trends that defined the past year and explore what may shape the commercial real estate landscape in 2027. Panelists will discuss market indicators they are watching closely, how capital markets and financing conditions may influence development activity, and what occupiers and investors should anticipate as economic conditions continue to evolve. The conversation will offer insight into the forces influencing leasing activity, development pipelines, workplace strategy, and investment decisions across the Pacific Northwest.
