On September 14, 2026, the blogger filmed a nighttime on-site scene in a multi-story office building in Shanghai and found large areas of vacancy on some floors, with corridor lights still on and no one inside the offices. The video shows that the brightly lit exterior of the building actually contains mostly public corridors, while the actual office areas are empty. Data released by several real‑estate consulting firms for the second quarter of 2026 state that the overall vacancy rate of Grade‑A office buildings in Shanghai is between 22% and 23.5%. A JLL report shows the overall vacancy rate of Shanghai Grade‑A office towers at 23.5%, with 19.3% in the Central Business District and 27.1% outside it, meaning that for every four square metres, more than one square metre is vacant. This phenomenon reveals a supply‑greater‑than‑demand situation in Shanghai's office‑building market.
