NAIOP Podcast: Inside CRE
Phil Mobley, CoStar
As the national director for office analytics, Phil Mobley leads the development of CoStar's house view of the office market. In this episode, he examines the office sector from every angle, highlighting the misconception of a simple “flight to quality,” explaining that both premium and affordable office spaces are thriving while mid-tier buildings face challenges. Mobley shares what he’s watching with the greatest interest over the next 12-24 months, discusses fragmentation in the sector, and how limited new supply is slowing move-outs as occupiers hold onto space longer. Despite ongoing hurdles, he remains optimistic about the long-term role of office as landlords adjust to tenant needs and get a handle on each “micro market.” Recorded on March 13, 2025.
