Let's check in on office utilization (in Toronto). The last time [we talked about this was in April](https://brandondonnelly.com/2024/04/02/office-utilization-continues-to-climb/). At that time, the average weekly utilization figure was 63%. The peak day -- Wednesday -- was 73%. And the low day -- Friday -- was 40%. Today, [well as of September 15](https://srraresearch.org/covid/category/Occupancy+Index), these numbers are now 69%, 79%, and 39%, respectively (see above chart). So we continue to climb. The only slight downward trend is Fridays. People don't like coming into the office on Fridays. Still, the average is up 6% over the span of about 6 months. This makes you continue to wonder: When does this level off? I also don't know what this index looked like before 2020. Are we back, or not yet?
