Not exactly news, as I recall a similar story was published something like a month ago, but I figured we could use an office-space-specific thread anyways.
The real news is that the CB Richard Ellis' market report for the 3rd quarter 2007 has finally been posted on their site...

The downtown Vancouver office market now has a three-per- cent vacancy rate, which is both a record low for this market and is the lowest vacancy rate nationwide (surpassing downtown Calgary), according to CB Richard Ellis' Greater Vancouver office report for the third quarter. The Broadway Corridor market is even tighter.
Q3 vacancy rates:
Downtown 3%
Broadway Corridor 2.6%
Burnaby 8.1%
Richmond 13.7%
North Shore 5.0%
Surrey 22.4%
New Westminster 20.0%
