Which of the following is NOT a primary factor affecting the demand for office space?

The number of developers in a market is not a primary factor affecting the demand for office space because it relates more to the supply side of the real estate market than to demand. Demand for office space is driven by factors that directly influence the need for businesses to acquire space, such as the overall economic conditions in the region, changes in population that may increase the number of potential clients for businesses, and technological advancements that can alter how and where people work.

While the presence and activities of developers can impact the availability and quality of office space, they do not directly affect the demand. Instead, they respond to the demand and market conditions by creating or modifying office space in accordance with what is needed. Thus, while the other factors listed affect the demand dynamics directly—total population indicating potential tenants and consumers, economic stability influencing business growth and expansion, and technological advancements reshaping work environments—the number of developers is less directly connected to determining how much office space is sought in the market.
