OFFICE MARKET OFF TO A GOOD START
executive summarythe greater Cincinnati office Market saw a good amount of activity in the first quarter of 2012, producing 449,759 square feet of positive absorption. the overall vacancy rate fell from 19.6% to 18.7%, a clear sign that we are headed in the right direction. the overall weighted asking rate for office properties averaged $18.14 per square foot, up 11 cents from the close of 2011.
central business districtIn the Central Business district, the office market saw a great deal of activity, but not enough velocity to create any significant absorption. For all property classes, the first quarter net absorption totaled negative 8,596 square feet and the overall vacancy rate stands at 17.82%. As a follow-up to last year’s string of larger lease signings in the CBd, this submarket continued to make news as kAo USA relocated to 312 plum Street. the company signed a 55,000-square-foot lease in the Class A building and will relocate its operations from Spring grove Avenue. UrS also announced it will relocate from the UrS tower on 7th Street to 525 Vine after signing a 20,551-square-foot lease. this wave of larger lease signings and announcements should settle for the balance of 2012.
suburban marketsthe Suburban Submarkets saw the most activity this quarter, producing a total of 458,355 square feet of position absorption. the vacancy rate for all suburban properties averaged 19.2%, down from 20.5% in the fourth quarter of 2011. the tri-County submarket was the biggest gainer, as net absorption totaled 333,434 square feet. humana right Source contributed the most square footage to this absorption when it leased all of the 177,184 SF at executive Centre I at 111 Merchant Street. the average rental rate for suburban properties was $20.37 per square foot, compared to an average rental rate for CBd properties of $19.35 per square foot.
constructionConstruction activity is picking up in the office market, as several new projects have come to life in 2012. the most notable is dunnhumbyUSA’s recent announcement to build its headquarters at the long dormant Fifth and race site downtown. the company is planning up to 250,000 SF of office space to meet its needs of future employment growth. In Mason, Seapine Software announced it will build a 50,000-square-foot headquarters on western row. the company will vacate the 38,000 SF space it currently occupies at triangle office at kings Mill. As noted last quarter, several other build-to-suit projects continue to move forward. these projects include the FBI site in kenwood (109,000 square feet), Urology group’s 45,000-square-foot facility in norwood, and itelligence’s 85,000-square-foot building in Blue Ash. For the rest of 2012, these smaller projects will continue to be the norm for the majority of construction activity in the market.

Overall Vacancy Rate
emPloyment the Bureau of labor Statistics announced good news for the market, as the U.S. unemployment rate continued to fall. while the validity of these government numbers can be debatable, it’s a good sign that companies are beginning to hire and put people back to work. the overall U-3 unemployment rate came in at 8.2% for March, down from 8.3% in January and February. In comparison, in october of 2010, the rate stood at 10.0%. ohio’s unemployment rate is at 7.6%, a nice sign that our state is a little healthier than the other 49 states across the country. As commercial real estate is tied directly to job growth, we hope these numbers continue to push us in a positive direction.
Forecast2012 should to be an interesting year for commercial real estate. Several variables at play will affect our market - the overall employment of our country’s workforce, the upcoming 2012 elections, and the record-level maturing commercial real estate debt. with the first quarter recording more than 449,000 square feet of positive absorption, we hope we can continue to capitalize on this activity and the market will stay on the upswing of the commercial real
estate cycle.
