[Fukuoka] Office Market Report Released: Vacancy Rate Rises After 8 Months

Sanko Estate Co., Ltd. has released its "Office Market Fukuoka June 2026" report, summarizing rental conditions in Fukuoka City (vacancy rates, vacant area, asking rents, etc.) for May 2026, as well as data on large-scale buildings in Japan's six major cities.

Ryuji Nakamura, Fukuoka Branch Manager, noted regarding the "Tenjin Business Center II" project, set to complete in June, that it is attracting strong interest from tenants due to its large 785-tsubo floor plates and extensive amenities including nap rooms, gyms, and saunas.

The overall vacancy rate for all Fukuoka City office buildings reached 3.78%, an increase of 0.23 points from the previous month, marking the first rise in eight months. This increase was attributed to large secondary vacancies created following moves to new buildings in the surrounding area. Conversely, the "Tenjin" area saw a significant 0.5-point decrease compared to the previous month. Asking rents reached 16,227 yen per tsubo, up 111 yen from the previous month, marking the fifth consecutive month of growth and continuing to update record highs since 2000.
