Milwaukee started the second half of the year with positive office absorption, and different classes struggled and thrived in a recent report. The Milwaukee office market started the third quarter with 19,838 square feet of positive absorption, and rent grew a healthy 0.7% quarter-over-quarter, according to a report from Jones Lang LaSalle. While the city gained 52,000 square feet of Class A office space, those gains were partly offset by losses in Class B and C properties, the report showed.
