DALLAS — Returning to the office is slowing picking up in the Dallas metro area.
The occupancy rate in Dallas office buildings rose to 51.8% last week up about a percentage point from the week before. It’s the second-highest rate since the COVID-19 pandemic chased workers en masse out of their offices and into their homes.
Only Austin (62.4%) and Houston (56.3%) have higher occupancy rates in 10 of the top business cities tracked by Kastle Systems, which has measured weekday keycard access to buildings it secures since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
