The Westlands commercial pulse — Q2 2026

Westlands has tightened meaningfully in the first half of 2026. Grade-A vacancy is below 8% for the first time in three years, driven by sustained demand from regional headquarters and a measured pipeline of new completions.

Rents are firm but not racing, and tenants continue to negotiate hard on fit-out contributions. Smaller floor plates of 120–300 sqm are the strongest pocket of demand right now.
