MSP office visitation is notably bifurcated by asset class

bar graph comparing office utilization by day of week in Minneapolis St Paul trophy class A buildings vs class B/C, April 2025 vs April 2019
  • According to Avison Young’s Office Busyness Index, MSP’s office visitation recovery by weekday is heavily bifurcated between trophy/class A properties and class B/C properties in April 2025 compared to April 2019 (pre-COVID) levels.
  • Trophy/class A properties have shown a stronger office visitation for each weekday than class B/C properties. This highlights the intersection of the prevalent flight-to-quality and flight-to-experience themes, as office users continue to prefer the highest-quality spaces within the liveliest buildings.
  • As of current, office-using employees in the Minneapolis–St. Paul market largely prefer four-day workweeks and/or hybrid-work schedules, with the focal point being Tuesdays through Thursdays, as both Monday and Friday remain under 40% of 2019 levels across all property classes.
