The largest cities in San Diego County by population are: San Diego, Chula Vista, Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, El Cajon, Vista, San Marcos, Encinitas, National City, La Mesa, and Santee.

San Diego County fronts on the Pacific Ocean, and borders Orange and Riverside Counties at its north side, Imperial County to the east, and the Mexican border to the south. The City of San Diego is the largest in the county bearing its name.

The San Diego office market overall reached 12.1% vacancy and 13.8% availability in the first quarter of 2023. However, vacancy was considerably higher in the downtown, reaching 22.5% vacancy and 23.3% availability. Similarly, absorption descended to a deeper negative and for the market overall occupancy lost 874,036 square feet, of which 116,684 square feet were due to downtown occupancy losses.

The greatest vacancy and availabilities have been experienced in the downtown area and the north county area, with inventory of 12,827,168 square feet and 11,295,391 square feet, respectively, comprising a significant portion of the total county inventory of 77,718,526 square feet. Vacancy and availability reached 13.7% in the north county, compared with the downtown total of 23.3%.

Absorption has been negative for three quarters as of first quarter 2023, and this trend is anticipated to continue. Sublease space is reaching the highest percentage in decades, whereas subleasing has long been a negligible portion of the market previously.

By Asset Class, the greatest vacancy and availability was in Class A space, at 16.7%, whereas Class B space was 12.7%, and Class C was 10.5%. Though Class C total fared somewhat better than Class A and Class B area, it comprises only 12.3 million square feet of the total San Diego Market of 77.7 million square feet.

Rising sublease trends are seen in the market increasing total office availabilities. Vacancy and availabilities are most prevalent in the downtown and Class A markets. Rising Federal funds rates driving up lending costs and prospects of a weakening economy have been taking their toll on office occupancy as of the first quarter of 2023.
