REBNY: Mid-Week Office Visits Now at 73% of Pre-Pandemic Levels

Mid-week employee workplace visits in Manhattan office buildings have reached an average of 73% of their comparable levels in 2019, the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) reported. The mid-week (Tuesday-Thursday) visitation rate analysis was based on Placer.ai location data for the first 16 weeks of 2023.

The report also compares office employee visits to total office building visits, including visits from employees plus visits for non-office-uses in the same buildings such as retail, schools, medical facilities and entertainment). The gap between mid-week (Tuesday-Thursday) and Monday and Friday narrows when visits to these other uses are included. 

“This report makes even clearer that employee visitation rates continue to rebound strongly during mid-week days, while total office building visitation rates are also growing throughout the week, even amid hybrid work policies,” said Keith DeCoster, director of market data and policy at REBNY.
