"The region did remarkably well versus other markets," said Bob Bach, during the firm's 2010 Commercial Real Estate Forecast Update at the Duquesne Club, Downtown.
The region filled 693,276 square feet of office space -- equal to about 40 football fields -- which helped reduce the office vacancy rate to about 15 percent -- from about 16 percent -- while other cities, such as Philadelphia, had 2 million square feet vacated last year, increasing office vacancy to 16.8 percent, Bach said.
