The office sentiment is still subject to much of southern California. According to the report, only 16% of developers in the region plan new projects. Meanwhile, in northern California, about 17% of developers plan new projects.

The survey collected responses from 60 companies from Northern California and 80 companies in southern California. Of these companies, 46% of respondents were identified as value investors and most of the remaining ones identified as developers.
