PRESS RELEASE
Advances nearly 800,000 square feet of leasing activity, significantly outpacing prior years
Early 2026 executed leases and active negotiations on pace to surpass pre-pandemic levels
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – May 21, 2026 – Accesso, a fully integrated investment manager and operator of multi-tenant office, mixed-use and multifamily assets, today provided a leasing activity update for 2026, highlighting a meaningful acceleration in portfolio‑wide leasing momentum that has the company on track to surpass its pre-pandemic leasing levels.
So far in 20226, Accesso has signed or is in active negotiation for almost 800,000 square feet of leases, including newly executed, renewals and expansions. This equates to roughly 84% of Accesso’s full year 2024 leasing volume and nearly 70% of full year 2025 activity, indicating a faster pace compared to prior years, surging tenant demand, and increasing return to office mandates.
“The high level of tenant engagement we’re seeing in 2026 reinforces our view that demand has stabilized and, in many submarkets, beginning to expand,” said Deb Kolar, Chief Asset Officer / General Manager for Accesso. “While we remain disciplined in our underwriting and execution, the volume of completed deals alongside our growing pipeline gives us confidence in the durability of leasing momentum across the portfolio.”
Accesso is on track to significantly outpace its 2025 levels for total expansions executed, signifying the critical long-term role premium office space continues to play in corporate America. Importantly, there has been a strong uptick in demand from national and regional organizations – a noticeable and welcomed change since emerging from the pandemic, where most leasing activity was centered around smaller, local operators.
Moreover, Accesso’s tenant requirement for proposals in 2026 has more than doubled, with the average lease under negotiation rising to 18,587 square feet from 9,113 square feet in 2025. This trend is something the company expects to continue for the duration of 2026 and beyond.
Kolar continued, “Taken together, the pace of completed leasing, rising expansion activity, increased tenant footprint, and active negotiations point to a much healthier demand environment than in recent prior years. Our focus remains on converting pipeline activity into high‑quality, long‑term occupancy while maintaining flexibility as market conditions continue to evolve. Moreover, we will also continue investing in our portfolio through capital upgrades and adding amenities, programming, and spec suites to capitalize on these leasing tailwinds.”
As of the end of April 2026, Accesso’s portfolio remains well‑positioned from a rollover standpoint, with a limited number of large tenants facing near‑term lease expirations and minimal tenant concentration risk.
