    Dallas-Fort Worth has a higher office vacancy rate than the national average , per data from Moody's.

    Why it matters: The reliance on office space has drastically changed since the pandemic, with more people working remotely or only going into a workplace a couple times a week.


    Zoom in: Though office vacancies are up from pre-pandemic levels, the D-FW market is one of the hottest for in-office work.

    • The Dallas area has passed Chicago to become the third-largest metro for office-using jobs, per a recent report from real estate services company JLL.

    Context: JLL found most of the office vacancies are confined to just 10% of buildings.

    The intrigue: D-FW has become a hub for converting vacant office space into residential units.

    • More than 3,800 Dallas-area apartments will be converted from office space in the next few years.
