The growing number of distressed office buildings reflects a recognition by owners and lenders that the robust return to office they had hoped for isn't likely to materialize

is preparing to"give the keys back" on multiple office buildings to the holders of their debt.

Some of this underwriting was done in the halcyon prepandemic days, when office was one of commercial real estate's strongest assets. Office buildings, from the newest and shiniest Class A towers to the older and less-sexy Class B buildings, were a pretty safe investment, as long as they were in the right locales.
