A second-quarter report from Colliers International found the Downtown office market is “stabilizing,” despite a surge in new inventory and increased tenant demand. Overall Downtown rents in the second quarter averaged $40.69 a square foot, led by the West Loop submarket at $44.45. The lowest average rent of any of the submarkets studied in the report was $33.43 a square foot in Fulton Market. [Crain’s] — John O’Brien
