NATIONAL MARKET SUMMARY
2 0 1 1
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
The United States economy continued its slow recovery in 2011 as commercial real estate fundamentals showed
improvement. Of the 24 markets that CORE Network affiliates track, 20 markets experienced positive net absorption.
18 out of 24 markets experienced a decrease in unemployment rate. But total employment in the United States is still
4.4 percent below peak 2007 levels, which continues to place pressure on the office market.
After remaining unchanged in 2010, CoStar’s National Office total vacancy rate fell 110 basis points to 12.3 percent.
While a solid improvement, the total vacancy rate is still well above the 10.6 percent level seen in 2006. Total net
absorption from markets that CORE Network affiliates track exceeded a positive 21 million square feet in 2011. A lack
of new, speculative construction continued to aid the market. Only 31.8 million square feet of office space was delivered
in 2011—the lowest yearly amount in more than 30 years. This is well below the historical average of roughly 150
million square feet. Another positive sign is that total available sublease space has fallen from 61.1 million square feet
at the end of 2010 to 50.7 million square feet at the end of 2011. This 20.5 percent reduction is further evidence of
increased corporate confidence and a recovering office market.
Despite an improvement in leasing activity and occupancy, average asking rental rates remain down nationally, on a
year-over-year basis. The average asking rate for Class A was $26.85, compared to $26.96 at the end of 2010. Class
B and C average asking rates also decreased to $19.56 and $16.04, compared to $19.70 and $16.43, respectively,
at the end of 2010. However, several costal markets including New York, San Francisco and Portland all reported
increased asking rental rates in 2011, indicating that the trend may spread inland in 2012.
4
Through the first three quarters of 2011, total sales
volume reached $39.9 billion, compared to $19.6
billion over the same timeframe in 2010. The average
cap rate dropped from 8.49 percent in 2010 to 8.13
percent. Cap rates have compressed in major central
business districts, evidenced by the 3.39 percent cap
rate resulting from the $1.77 billion sale of The Port
of New York Authority Inland Terminal in New York City.
The bifurcation of suburban and central business
district markets became even more pronounced. More
than 900,000 square feet of positive absorption in
Chicago’s CBD was overshadowed by over 1.1 million
square feet of negative absorption in the suburbs. On
the other hand, Oklahoma City’s suburban market is
much tighter than its downtown, with direct vacancies
of 13.1 percent compared to 26.4 percent.

The national recovery will continue to slowly take shape 2012. New construction will remain near record low levels.
More employers plan on adding jobs compared to the previous year, which should lead to increased leasing activity.
The “flight-to-quality” trend will continue in markets with elevated vacancy until landlords are in the position to raise
rental rates and reduce concessions. We expect the upcoming year to be similar to 2011 with a few more markets
showing increased signs of improvement.

ATLANTA, GA
MARKET OVERVIEW
The Atlanta Office Market saw a drop in the overall
vacancy rate for the first time since 2006. The vacancy
rate fell to 19.5 percent, driven by 490,000 square
feet of net absorption in the fourth quarter. Currently
1.5 million square feet of office space is under
construction. Quoted rental rates averaged $19.32 at
the end of the fourth quarter, up from $19.11 in the
previous quarter. Though the vacancy rate is declining
and rental rates are up, tenants looking for space in
the current market still have the upper hand.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Georgia Department of Labor reports that the
preliminary unemployment rate for Metro Atlanta as
of November 2011 is 9.2 percent, down 1.3 percent
from June 2011. This drop can be attributed to the
more than 13,000 jobs added regionally as well as
fewer layoffs in construction, manufacturing,
wholesale trade, administrative support services and
accommodation & food services. The decline in the
Atlanta Office Market’s vacancy rate is indicative of
the recent stabilization of these sectors. ■

BIRMINGHAM, AL
MARKET OVERVIEW
Birmingham ended the year with 117,500 square feet
of positive absorption. Only 2 out of the 6 submarkets
reported negative absorption, so hopefully the positive
trend will hit the overall market in 2012. Leasing
activity has been slow for new deals, but landlords
have made sure to keep existing tenants in place.
Rents are flat and renewing tenants are able to
negotiate market rates with reasonable refurbishment
improvement allowances. The only development
announcement is a 170,000 square foot building in
Midtown. Sublease space still presents problems and
is expected to weigh down the market in 2012.

TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Birmingham metropolitan unemployment rate is
currently 7.3 percent compared to the national
average of 8.2 percent. The Birmingham market is
also being affected by the municipal bankruptcy of
Jefferson County. Birmingham is still growing in
healthcare sectors but is losing jobs related to
banking. The area is home to a dozen hospitals and
over 700 technology related companies. ■

CHICAGO, IL
MARKET OVERVIEW
Leasing activity and absorption showed unexpected,
but marked improvement in Chicago’s CBD with direct
vacancy falling 90 basis points during 2011. Rental
rates grew slightly in Class A buildings as the “flightto-quality” trend continues. The Suburbs continued to
struggle and experienced more than 1.1 million
square feet of negative absorption. No speculative
construction is underway in the CBD or Suburbs.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Chicago metropolitan unemployment rate is
currently 9.6 percent, well above the national average
of 8.2 percent. Despite a decline in total employment
of 6.2 percent since January 2008, the total amount
of occupied space is down just 0.3 percent in the
CBD. This is largely due to Chicago-based companies
such as Groupon rapidly expanding their space
requirements. Numerous tenants are relocating to the
CBD from the Suburbs as they desire access to the
younger labor force. However, due to jobs lost during
the recession and sluggish job growth, vacancy rates
are forecasted to increase slightly in 2012. ■

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO
MARKET OVERVIEW
Absorption reached 741,000 square feet in 2012.
However, it took 2.2 million square feet of leasing and
multiple owner-occupied building purchases to
produce this absorption figure. Even the healthy
leasing figure of 2.2 million included several hundred
thousand square feet of “charity leasing” to tax exempt
philanthropic entities.
Largest Blocks Of Class A Space
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Asking rental rates have been falling for the last three
years. However, many lease deals are being done at
25 to 40 percent below the published asking rates.
Previous downturns produced average asking rents in
the $5.50 triple net range, but the current asking rate
of $9.72 is not reflective of market conditions. For
whatever reason, there remains a concerted
reluctance to publicly advertise lower asking rents. ■

DALLAS, TX
MARKET OVERVIEW
The city market contains almost 33 million square feet
and is currently showing a vacancy rate of 29.5
percent, while the suburban market contains just over
173 million square feet and is showing a vacancy rate
of 21.8 percent. There currently is almost 460,000
square feet of new development to be completed
within the next year.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Business and consumer confidence remains low due
to the current economy, causing the market to operate
cautiously. There is a strong concern for the office
market as companies merge and put space on the
market for sublease. Recently, the completion of
vacant new office space has reduced or negated the
benefits of positive net absorption. Large office users
have streamlined their space needs and have vacated
large blocks of space in favor of newer, more efficient
layouts. ■

MARKET OVERVIEW
The Denver Office market ended 2011 with a total
vacancy rate of 13.0 percent. The vacancy rate was
down over the previous quarter, with net absorption

FORT MYERS, FL
MARKET OVERVIEW
The outlook for the Southwest Florida office market
indicates stability and additional improvement.
Overall vacancy rates are expected to remain
relatively stable, with a slight rise in vacancy rate
predicted. Leasing activity showed a positive
increase and quarter over quarter leasing followed
suit between the third and fourth quarters of 2011.
Largest Blocks Of Class A Space
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Unemployment in Southwest Florida continues to
decline. In Lee County alone, one of the hardest hit
areas in Florida, January 2011 rates were at 12.7
percent dropping to 11.6 percent in July and to
10.2 percent in December 2011. Topping 600,000,
Lee County’s population is now dominated by
working-age people. Forbes, Inc. and Money
magazines have recognized Cape Coral-Fort Myers
as one of the top places to live and do business in
the country. Lee and Collier counties saw a
decrease in the number of existing single-family
home sales, but an increase in the median price. ■

FORT WORTH, TX
MARKET OVERVIEW
The city/CBD market contains just over 9.5 million
square feet of office space and is currently showing a
vacancy rate of 13.1 percent, while the suburban
market contains over 33.5 million square feet and is
showing a vacancy rate of 16.6 percent. The Fort
Worth market brought on line almost 42,000 square
feet of new office space in 2011. There are no new
office developments happening in the Fort Worth
market.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Fort Worth market continues to be at equilibrium.
Leasing activity should pick up in 2012, as tenants’
real estate needs become clearer. Landlords remain
aggressive in negotiations by offering concessions in
order to sign new tenants and to keep their existing
tenants. Rental rates are expected to stabilize in
2012. ■

HAMPTON ROADS, VA
MARKET OVERVIEW
2011 began and ended with a positive net absorption
rates. A positive 117,950 square feet were leased in
the first quarter. The fourth quarter recorded only
11,800 square feet of positive net absorption but it
was very much welcomed after two quarters of
negative results, (196,135) square feet in the third
quarter and (133,774) square feet in the second
quarter. An increase in leasing activity with negative
net absorption suggests that many tenants downsized
their space requirements throughout the year.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The vacancy rate increased to 13.5 percent after the
delivery of five buildings that added 103,103 square
feet to the market’s inventory. Year-to-date deliveries
in eight new buildings totaled 255,878 square feet.
Four more buildings are under construction to bring
an additional 218,780 square feet. Rental rates also
increased slightly, however at $21.41 per square feet,
the averages are still over a dollar below the region’s
peak rents at the end of 2009. ■

KANSAS CITY, MO
MARKET OVERVIEW
The Kansas City Metropolitan commercial real estate
market remains a tenant friendly environment. There
is very little new construction taking place. The largest
transactions in 2011 have been relocations in the
market with some signs that prospect activity is on
the upswing. One notable point is the recent drop in
the amount of sublease space on the market. With
little pressure from new construction, existing
properties should benefit from incremental increases
in leasing activity. The vacancy rates should decline
into and through 2012.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The agricultural, distribution and government services
sectors continue to spur whatever growth is alive and
well in the Kansas City metro area. The large
engineering and design firms in our market also are
improving. However, the Sprint Corporation continues
to make large blocks of space available on their 3.5
million square foot campus. ■

LOS ANGELES, CA
MARKET OVERVIEW
The Los Angeles office market is beginning to see a
decrease in available space and an increase in
investment sales activity. Positive absorption continues
to improve, and with few deliveries in the pipeline to
apply upward pressure on vacancy, the market is
starting to stabilize. Lease rates are expected to
remain soft and concessions have begun to normalize.
As job creation continues and consumer confidence
stabilizes, the office rental market will continue its path
to recovery.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The U.S. economy plunged into a deep recession
combined with a severe financial crisis in 2008 and
2009. Throughout this period, employment declined
and jobless rates soared across the nation. The
economy reached bottom in June 2009, ending the
recession. However, Los Angeles County’s economy
experienced a gradual economic improvement in
2011 with the unemployment rate fluctuating and is
currently at 11.0 percent (October 2011) based on
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. ■

MIAMI, FL
MARKET OVERVIEW
The last of the new buildings delivered on Brickell
Avenue, Brickell World Plaza, added 605,000 square
feet to inventory and increased vacancy to 23 percent
in this submarket. The pending completion of the
widening of the Panama Canal in early 2014 and the
related $2 billion of infrastructure improvements
currently underway at the Port of Miami should
produce positive benefits for the area, including
demand for office space.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Many of the South Florida submarkets in 2011
reported continued positive absorption that started in
2010. The vacancy rate for the South Florida Market
decreased to 14.5 percent, with net positive
absorption of nearly 850,000 square feet. Increased
leasing activity has led to stabilizing rates and reduced
concessions going into 2012. Confirming a
strengthening market was the recent sale of the
408,000 square foot Bank of America Tower at Las
Olas City Centre in Downtown Fort Lauderdale to JP
Morgan for $402 per square foot. ■

MILWAUKEE, WI
MARKET OVERVIEW
The Milwaukee office market improved slightly in the
third quarter of 2011, posting positive absorption of
27,000 square feet. Vacancy rates fell in the
downtown submarket but remained relatively
unchanged in the suburbs. The overall trend in both
the suburban and downtown markets has been
positive for the year, reflecting a stabilization of the
employment markets. As new development has been
stagnant for the past few years, we’re anticipating a
shortage of large blocks of space in some western
suburbs in the next few years, which will drive rental
rates closer to their pre-recession dollar amounts.

The New York City office marketplace is comprised of
three the Manhattan markets of Midtown, Midtown
South and Downtown. Together they make up of over
450 million square feet, of which over 230 million

TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The New York City commercial real estate market was
the tale of two halves in 2011. The first two quarters
witnessed a robust marketplace while the second half
of the year was relatively quiet. The end result for the
year was overall strong with positive absorption of
approximately 2.1 million square feet in Manhattan
causing vacancy rates dip to 12.1 percent while
average asking rates increased to $50.17 per square
foot. The year was highlighted by a number of high
profile leasing transactions such as Conde Nast’s one
million square foot commitment at One World Trade
Center. ■

NORTHERN NEW JERSEY
MARKET OVERVIEW
The Northern New Jersey Class A office market
experienced modest improvement in 2011 with
positive absorption of 1.1 million square feet. However,
the Class A improvement was fueled by a flight to
quality that came at the expense of the Class B & C
inventories, as these two classes posted significant
negative absorption numbers. The Class A vacancy
rate is 14.9 percent, with the average gross asking
rent rising slightly to $26.16 from $25.78 per square
foot gross. Speculative construction remains muted.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Leasing velocity was primarily dominated by renewal
transactions, but there were several very large lease
deals consummated as a result of corporate
consolidations. Lease deals remain heavy on free rent,
increased tenant improvement allowances and often
require base building improvements by landlords.
Landlords are valuing their tenant bases more than
ever, concentrating on delivering good management
services and with lots of communication. ■

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK
MARKET OVERVIEW
Absorption of office space in Oklahoma City improved
dramatically in 2011, with substantial net gains
offsetting the minimal negative absorption from the
second half of 2010. Average asking rates remain
stable, and few large blocks of space are available.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Largest Blocks Of Class A Space
Oklahoma’s economy is stronger than most of the rest
of the country and Oklahoma City continues to enjoy
broad support for its investments in urban
infrastructure, venues, and schools. This is evidenced
by the voters’ commitment to another penny sales tax
for MAPs III projects downtown, Devon’s progress with
its corporate headquarters, and Project 180’s
reconstruction of all the streets within the CBD.
During the next decade more than $3 billion of public
and private investments are committed to the
downtown area, an indication that the city’s
remarkable renaissance is likely to continue. ■

ORANGE COUNTY, CA
MARKET OVERVIEW
The Orange County office market continues to show
signs of stabilization, with continued improvement in
vacancy and positive absorption during the end 2011.
For the upcoming year, job growth may stimulate new
office space demand; the decline in projected vacancy
will result primarily from minimal construction. Many
projects will remain in the planning process due to
limited construction financing. Reduced rents and
generous leasing incentives may encourage tenants
to consider larger and higher-quality spaces.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The recovery has been slow and steady over the past
12 months. With a net increase of 11,700 jobs from
August 2010 to August 2011, 5,600 jobs were
created in leisure and hospitality and 5,400 in
education and health services. Despite government,
defense, and aerospace cutbacks, other industry
sectors have been dampening the blow. ■

PHOENIX, AZ
MARKET OVERVIEW
2011 was by no means a banner year for the Phoenix
office market. Rental rates continued to fall and the
improvement in vacancy is mainly due to a few larger
tenants taking occupancy of previously signed leases.
One thing is for certain: it was a better year than 2010.
The Phoenix market continues to lower the average
quoted rates and offer landlord concessions, allowing
new tenants to take advantage of market conditions.
Phoenix will remain a tenant’s market until the local
economy make significant strides for improvement.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Phoenix area experienced a job growth totaling
27,100 jobs in 2011, representing 1.6 percent of the
total employment base. Nearly every employment
sector recorded job growth, including the construction
segment. From mid-2006 through mid-2010, the
sector lost 100,000 positions. In 2011, however,
employers created 2,200 construction jobs. Although
the Phoenix economy remains positive, forecasts
predict another slow year of growth in 2012. ■

PORTLAND, OR
MARKET OVERVIEW
The Portland metropolitan office market ended the
fourth quarter with net absorption totaling more than
283,000 square feet, marking the seventh quarter in
a row of positive absorption. The overall occupancy
level, currently 89.6 percent, has steadily increased
from low of 88.5 percent during the first quarter of
2010. Average quoted rental rates have increased
slightly over the last seven quarters, currently at
$19.83 per square foot (full service).
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Tenants in the market today for CBD, class A office
space larger than 30,000 square feet have four
alternatives. Large blocks of contiguous office space
will continue to be limited until new office
developments are completed. Two proposed office
developments remain poised to move forward - One
Waterfront Place and Park Avenue West. Both projects
have significant pre-development work completed and
arebest prepared to deliver occupancy within 24
months. ■

RICHMOND, VA
MARKET OVERVIEW
As in 2010, the majority of activity in office leasing
occurred in the Innsbrook submarket in Northwest
Richmond. Reynolds Crossing III remains the only
building under construction and is expected to deliver
63,000 square feet in the second quarter of 2012.
Downtown Richmond and the Northwest quadrant saw
128,697 and 129,028 square feet of space absorbed
in 2011, respectively. New construction has not
weighed heavily on vacancy as of the top five new
deliveries are all 100 percent occupied.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Leasing and sales activity rebounded in 2011. After a
flat year, rental rates are expected to rise based on
the limited availability of Class A large blocks. Vacancy
rates have decreased as net absorption stayed
positive throughout the year. In the first nine months
of 2011, 13 sales transactions occurred with an
average price per square foot of $174.42--as
compared to $54.74 for the 7 transactions that were
recorded over the same amount of time in 2010. ■

SAN ANTONIO, TX
MARKET OVERVIEW
In spite of activity sparked by the Eagle Ford Shale
play south of San Antonio, the year shows negative
absorption for 2011. The AT&T sublease space
returned to the market in fourth quarter. Many of the
large deals completed in 2011 were moves within the
market so they did not result in significant absorption.
NuStar and KCI are building new facilities that will
bring additional large blocks of space back to the
market in 2012.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
San Antonio is Texas’ second largest city and
continues to be a friendly business environment with
logistic advantages favorable to businesses looking to
reduce operating costs or execute efficient expansion.
Positioned as a national economic leader, San Antonio
has gained several enviable spots on recent Forbes’
lists and most recently a spot on Bloomberg’s “One of
America’s top 50 best cities to live in” list. The Alamo
city is expected to continue to draw interest of new
businesses in 2012 and create additional job
opportunities. ■

SAN DIEGO, CA
MARKET OVERVIEW
The San Diego office market is progressively
improving as net absorption continues to maintain
positive gains while vacancy steadily decreases.
Positive net absorption of 700,373 square feet
dropped the direct vacancy rate for San Diego office
space to 16.6 percent at the end of 2011 from 17.1
percent in the third quarter. The San Diego office
market will continue to show modest improvement for
2012. Leasing activity will gain momentum once
occupational and economic conditions maintain
moderate improvement.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
According to the State of California Employment
Development Department, San Diego County gained
13,500 payroll jobs from August 2010 to August
2011. The unemployment rate in San Diego County
was at 9.2 percent in November 2011, down from 9.7
percent in October 2011 and below the November
2010 rate of 10.6 percent. The decrease of the
unemployment rate may be an indication that the San
Diego job market will stabilize. ■

SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CA
MARKET OVERVIEW
As predicted, the Bay Area office market made a
spectacular recovery in 2011. Gross leasing in Greater
Silicon Valley set a new record at 15 million square
feet. The explosive job growth of Facebook , Twitter,
and Salesforce led the way while mainstay Apple
grabbed as much space as possible in the West
Silicon Valley. Palo Alto Class A rents have hit common
highs of $96 while San Francisco’s South of Market
jumped to many mid to high $40 rents. Watch for a
burst of campus and speculative pre-entitled building
announcements in 2012.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Bay Area's dominance as the top global region
for venture capital and innovation rang true in 2011.
Many submarket vacancy rates are below 5 percent
including Palo Alto, Mountain View and San
Francisco's infamous South of Market, at 3.3 percent.
There are no indications that this will slow in 2012.
Expect total Bay Area office vacancy rate below 10
percent by year end. As rental rates continue to climb
the pressure to deliver more space will mount. ■

ST. LOUIS, MO
MARKET OVERVIEW
Overall vacancy rates in the St. Louis market rose by
10 basis points from 16.9 percent to 17.0 percent.
Space reductions from companies like Verizon, Sara
Lee, Monsanto and Wells Fargo have contributed to a
total 179,000 square feet of negative absorption in
2011. Given the continued decline in demand, rental
rates have fallen by 8 percent, averaging $19.25.
Average lease terms remain low, as companies delay
hiring due to economic uncertainty, and hesitate to
sign long-term leases.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Continuing on with the trends of 2011 – 2012 is
highly favorable to the tenant in search of great lease

WASHINGTON, D.C.
MARKET OVERVIEW
The Washington, D.C. market continues to be one of
the top performing commercial real estate markets in
the United States as key market indicators, including
unemployment and office vacancy rates, outperform
all Metropolitan areas across the nation. Washington
DC remains the top recipient of federal procurement
dollars among all Metropolitan areas. This has led to
a consistently strong job market and economic
stability in the region.
TRENDS & ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Renewal activity dominates the market as the Federal
Government grapples with deficit reduction measures
and the private sector takes a “wait and see” approach
to their real estate. Submarkets offering mixed use
amenities and access to public transportation continue
to demonstrate solid fundamentals while outlying
suburbs suffered from a lack of tenant demand. ■
