What happened
Cambridge increased its occupied office space by approximately 98,000 square feet between July and September, according to a commercial real estate report. Conversely, Boston lost about 397,000 square feet of occupied space in its central business district. The growth in Cambridge was largely attributed to AI-related companies leasing space, alongside the recapture of previously occupied areas.
