    U.S. Office Space Market Posts WeakestQuarter Since Q3 2001 (Continued from page 1)

    Wilting demand pushing rents lower. For the secondconsecutive quarter, downtown lease rates droppedsubstantially during the quarter with Q1 asking rentsdipping by 5.5% to $43.36 per square foot. Markets such asManhattan, Boston and San Francisco contributed largelyto the unusually large drop but nonetheless the nationaltrend is clearly down (see unweighted rent on page 3).Suburban asking rents also fell during the quarter, decliningby 1.4% to $27.69 per square foot. On an annual basis thisleft CBD rents down 13.0% and suburban rents down 3.8%.

    Office construction falls to a two year low. First quarteroffice completions dropped considerably relative to the priorquarter with new construction totaling 15.4 MSF comparedwith 18.6 MSF in Q4. This was also a modest decline fromthe first quarter of 2008 when construction registered 17.4MSF. Construction activity also registered a substantialdecline with Q1 under construction activity falling by 10.4MSF to total 83.8 MSF. Construction activity is expectedto drop-off sharply in the coming quarters leaving thedevelopment pipeline below levels witnessed in early 2005when just 40 MSF of office development was underway.
