Melbourne’s office Middle Market is heating up. JLL’s Jack Ainsworth, Senior Executive, Office Leasing and Sophie Tadgell, Tenant Representation Consultant share the key trends shaping the market: 1. Tenant decision-making: Global uncertainty has slowed approval processes, creating an artificial downturn in activity. 2. Rents & incentives: Incentives remain high, but are beginning to contract in tightening precincts, driving effective rental growth. 3. Tenant priorities: Occupiers are gravitating toward fully fitted, flexible, amenity-rich solutions with strong connectivity. 4. Landlord challenges: Rising construction costs are impacting speculative fitouts, making creative repositioning strategies critical. 5. Market timing: With incentives plateauing and effective rents expected to rise from late 2025, forward-thinking tenants are acting early. 6. CBD centralisation: The rent gap between fringe and CBD is at record lows, accelerating a move back into the city.
