AI is not just leasing office space. It is setting the new ceiling for what office space costs, how long tenants commit, and how much square footage moves in a single quarter. In Q1 2026, AI companies showed up at the top of nearly every category in this report: total value, transaction size, starting rent, and national expansion. This report puts each of those deals in context against the submarket data around them, so you can see exactly how far outside the norm they landed and what that means for the market they moved into.
