U.S. Office Market Fundamentals Level Off but Remain PositiveMichael Roessle, National Director of Office Research
U.S. Research Report
OFFICE MARKET OUTLOOKQ3 2016
In Q3 2016, U.S. office market fundamentals continued the positive momentum of the first half of 2016, particularly in terms of net absorption amid renewed GDP growth. Robust office leasing in the third quarter should set the table for a solid year-end figure, as the fourth quarter has historically been strong for absorption. While the rate of occupancy gains is slowing as many businesses increasingly focus on efficiency, the U.S. office vacancy rate has a strong chance of matching or dipping below the prior cycle low by early 2017.
Key Observations
> U.S. GDP growth rebounded to 2.9 percent in the third quarter, marking the strongest quarter in two years. The U.S. economy added an average of 206,000 jobs per month in Q3 2016, up 41 percent from Q2 2016. Office-using jobs increased by 17 percent over the past quarter to an average of 75,000 per month.
> Class A asking rents ended the third quarter averaging $46.54 per square foot in central business districts (CBDs) and $28.91 in the suburbs. Both figures represent gains from Q3 2015 with the CBDs registering a 7.6 percent increase, compared to 3.3 percent in the suburbs. However, both areas registered slight decreases from Q2 2016, suggesting the pace of these gains is slowing.
> The national vacancy rate dropped to 12.4 percent, down 10 basis points (bps) from Q2 2016 and down 40 bps from Q3 2015. Compared to Q3 2015, 78 percent of metros registered stable or declining vacancies while 71 percent of metros recorded a quarterly decrease in vacancy. However, market conditions moderated in the core areas of the top 10 investment markets tracked by Colliers International.
> Net absorption reached 20.6 million square feet in Q3—nearly equal to the 23.8 million square feet absorbed in the first and second quarters combined. This level of net absorption easily surpassed the five-year quarterly average of 16.6 million square feet.
> Third quarter sales volume in the U.S. was down 4 percent from Q3 2015 to $33.9 billion, though the pace of decline is slowing from earlier in the year. While major and tertiary markets saw sales volume declines, secondary markets saw a 3 percent year-over-year increase.

GDP and Employment Signal Renewed Economic Growth
U.S. GDP grew at 2.9 percent in Q3 2016, the fastest pace in two years and twice the rate of last quarter. Exports soared at an annualized rate of 10 percent, while public sector spending, private inventories and business spending all turned from negative to positive. On the other hand, consumption grew by a relatively tepid 2.1 percent in the quarter, almost half its 4.3 percent pace in the second quarter.
The U.S. economy continues to demonstrate resilience with a string of strong monthly job growth figures. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, September’s upwardly revised 191,000 job additions, following August’s 176,000 additions, marked a record six straight years of positive job growth, though the gains have been moderating as the economy nears its full employment level. The labor force participation rate also increased to 62.9 percent in September from 62.4 percent in Q3 2015, demonstrating rising worker confidence.

Despite core inflation still sitting below the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2 percent, the signs of strength in the job market and renewed economic growth appear to reaffirm the belief that the Fed will hike interest rates this December for the first time since December 2015.
Office Absorption Reaches 2016 High
National office absorption rebounded from a slow first half of 2016 to reach 20.6 million square feet in Q3—nearly equal to the 23.8 million square feet absorbed in the first and second quarters combined. This bodes well for a strong finish to the year as tenants and landlords often push to complete deals before the new year. Still, limited space options and restrained construction activity will make matching the 80-90 million-square-feet annual totals for the past two years highly unlikely.
Absorption gains were widespread in the third quarter, with 82 percent of the markets we track recording a net gain. Suburban areas fueled the majority of those gains as there are much larger inventories in these areas than in the CBDs. As a result, suburban absorption accounted for 16.7 million square feet of the 20.6 million-square-foot total.
In addition, 89 percent of suburban markets recorded positive absorption compared with 68 percent of CBDs. However, this does not indicate that the trend toward urbanization is slowing. In fact, several major firms recently announced relocations from the suburbs to CBDs. Two prime examples are GE’s headquarters relocation from Stamford, CT to Boston and McDonald’s headquarters relocation from the Illinois suburb of Oak Brook to Chicago’s West Loop.
The tech sector, professional services sector and corporate relocations continue to fuel demand for office space. Suburban areas of Boston, Dallas, Seattle, Phoenix, South Florida and Nashville all posted absorption gains of at least 500,000 square feet. “New Tech” tenants, or those technology and e-commerce companies founded in the past 20 years, are responsible for an increasing share of absorption while more traditional sectors have been consolidating. For example, open source solutions provider Red Hat is opening a new facility in Boston’s Seaport submarket in an effort to tap into the area’s deep talent pool.

Class A Asking Rents Rise but Pace EasesClass A asking rents ended the third quarter averaging $46.54 per square foot in CBDs and $28.91 per square foot in the suburbs. Both figures represented gains from Q3 2015, with the CBDs registering a 7.6 percent increase, compared to 3.3 percent in the suburbs.
While 40 CBDs and 43 suburban areas posted quarterly increases in rents and annual gains in asking rent continue, CBD and suburban areas as a whole saw small quarterly declines that suggest the pace of gains is moderating. Of note, both the East Bay CBD (-3.3 percent) and San Francisco CBD (-3.6 percent) posted quarterly rent decreases, slowing the record-breaking gains seen over the past 18–24 months.
Suburban areas of Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area (particularly Silicon Valley and the Peninsula) led the west in annual rent growth, while the suburban areas of Nashville, Atlanta, Raleigh/Durham, Austin, Orlando and Dallas topped the southern markets.
Dallas serves as a good example of the influence that the growth of professional services and corporate relocations are having in some markets. These factors have pushed the Uptown submarket in Dallas to record-breaking highs in asking rent, with some top-tier buildings commanding a once unthinkable $50-$60 per square foot. Though these are records for Dallas, these rents are still lower than in many major markets around the country, helping to draw out-of-market relocations.
As asking rents rise, occupiers in many sectors have grown increasingly cost conscious. Many law firms are embracing more efficient workplace strategies. Other firms are relocating operations to lower-cost markets. For example, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Toyota have consolidated in Dallas and Plano, respectively.
Yet relocations aren’t happening in all markets. In 2015, 39 percent of leases over 100,000 square feet in Manhattan were renewals. In 2016, that number has shot up to 59 percent, demonstrating a shift toward the lower cost option of renewing in-place rather than relocating.

Suburban Occupancy Drives Down Vacancy Rates
At the close of the third quarter, just under 30 percent of the markets we track had a vacancy rate of less than 10 percent, while only the Dayton, OH market exceeded 20 percent.
The national office vacancy rate now stands at 12.4 percent, dropping 10 bps from mid-year 2016 and 40 bps from Q3 2015 on the strength of occupancy gains in suburban markets. Overall vacancy rates now stand just above the trough of 12.2 percent seen in the prior peak in Q3 2007, with a strong chance of matching that figure by year-end.
Impressively, 78 percent of the markets Colliers tracks posted stable or declining vacancies on an annual basis. In particular, strong secondary markets in the west and southeast continue to outperform the rest of the country. Phoenix, Tacoma, Denver, Tampa Bay and Orlando all saw vacancy rates drop between 200 and 410 bps on an annual basis. It should come as no surprise that Houston was not one of those markets. As energy markets continue to struggle to gain traction and a flood of sublease space saturates the market, Houston saw vacancy rise 300 bps on an annual basis.
Suburban markets saw strong vacancy declines, decreasing quarterly and annually by 30 bps and 60 bps, respectively. Meanwhile, occupancy gains in the CBD areas have moderated, as vacancies declined a mere 10 bps annually to 11.2 percent. Conditions were relatively weaker in the core areas of the top 10 investment markets tracked by Colliers, as vacancies increased in six of the 10 markets.
The Midwest region was the top performer for CBD areas, registering an annual vacancy decrease of 80 bps to end the third quarter at 11.9 percent. The downtown areas of Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City, Dayton, Indianapolis and Columbus all enjoyed quarterly vacancy declines of between 90 and 530 bps. Strong local employment is the driver, with the Midwest unemployment rate falling to just 4.6 percent—the only region with a rate significantly lower than the overall U.S. unemployment rate of 5 percent.
As space constraints continue to be an issue in the CBDs, particularly for large blocks, many firms are looking to secondary markets and suburban areas as viable options for their expansion needs. Suburban occupancy gains were greatest in the west region, with vacancy decreasing by 110 bps year-over-year. Growth of the technology sector in primary and secondary markets also continues to be a major factor in driving down vacancy rates. Suburban areas of Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, Portland and the San Francisco Bay Area saw vacancy decreases varying from 40 bps to 450 bps, demonstrating widespread growth in the region.

Construction Activity Picks Up in Response to DemandConstruction has been restrained during this period of economic expansion, as many developers and lenders shied away from speculative projects. However, the pace is picking up. The 105.6 million square feet under construction at the end of the third quarter is the second-highest total since the peak of the prior cycle.
Quarterly Under Construction Totals
Source: Colliers International
Prudently, much of the construction is centered in metros where demand for new product is high and there is limited leftover supply from the recession. The top 10 markets in terms of office square footage under construction account for 56 percent of the U.S. total, showing that development is tightly focused on the areas where demand is greatest: markets such as Dallas, Manhattan, Silicon Valley, Seattle and Denver.
In many of these markets, projects are often between 50–80 percent pre-leased, giving tenants little relief from low vacancies, particularly for occupiers with large space requirements. Construction will have to rise to the levels of the prior peak (above 120 million square feet) before we begin to see any significant impact on vacancy.
Slowing Declines Suggest the Start of a Sales Volume Rebound
Transaction volume in the office sector fell 4 percent year-over-year during the third quarter to reach $33.9 billion, according to data from Real Capital Analytics. However, the trends point to an improvement as the pace of the declines earlier in the year is starting to slow.
Deal volume in secondary markets was up 3 percent annually to $13.8 billion, while major markets registered a decline of 4 percent to $18.3 billion. Volume in CBD areas posted a 10 percent decrease compared to Q3 2015 as investors appear to be waiting on the sidelines due to sub-4 percent cap rates for prime office properties in some gateway CBDs. Tertiary markets registered the sharpest annual decline in activity, down 29 percent. Though with only $1.7 billion in deal volume for the quarter, smaller shifts have a greater impact on percentage changes.
The U.S. property markets continue to attract overseas investors. Year-to-date cross-border investment in the office sector stands at $26 billion, a full 50 percent increase from the first three quarters of 2015. This year-over-year spread could rise further as the fourth quarter is generally the most active period for investment.
Canadian capital has historically been the most active overseas investment force in the U.S. office market. However, Canadian investment volume now lags behind levels from Europe, Asia and the Middle East—further proving that the U.S. is widely viewed as the safest option for investment capital as demand continues to rise.
Moderate Growth is the Name of the Game in Q4 2016So far this year, our relatively bullish 2016 outlook has largely taken form as expected. Economic growth has come in a bit below expectations but job additions remain steady. Both occupancy and asking rents have continued their growth, though at a more moderate pace than the record-setting past year.
We still see room for gains in many markets that have not yet matched or surpassed their prior troughs in vacancy. The fourth quarter should see the U.S. vacancy rate inch closer to, if not dip below, that prior trough. The technology sector, particularly “New Tech,” continues to unseat traditional industries like finance as a major driver of office activity across markets, whether seeking expansion opportunities for satellite offices or serving as the anchor tenant for new construction in core markets.
As we enter the time of year when investment and deal activity often accelerates, it’s important to consider that while gains may be slowing, the U.S. office market fundamentals remain positive. Though the financial market responded positively in the days immediately following the November election, it remains to be seen what the full impact will be. However, barring any unexpected exogenous shock to the economy, we see strong opportunities for occupiers and investors alike.
