Insights
The Columbia CompStak Rent Index (CCRI) is designed to provide a consistent view of commercial rent fundamentals over time. It's built by Columbia Business School Faculty using verified lease transactions from CompStak. By holding quality constant, the index helps separate real market movement from leasing trends at a given moment. As of August 2026, the CCRI National shows:
- Office: $35.36 (-5.42% MoM, 2.76% YoY)
- Retail: $30.97 (-0.23% MoM, -0.65% YoY)
- Industrial: $11.60 (-4.50% MoM, -3.92% YoY)
