RESEARCH & FORECAST REPORT COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL | PHOENIX www.colliers.com/phoenix Despite Restrained Job Growth, Absorption Positive for Third Straight Quarter THE BROADER VIEW The Greater Phoenix office market ended 2011 on a relative high note, highlighted by a third consecutive quarter of positive net absorption and a modest vacancy decline to 22.1 percent. The recent stabilization in the office market brightens the outlook for 2012, when economic expansion and employment growth are likely to accelerate. While demand will outpace new supply, the metrowide vacancy rate will remain above 20 percent, and rents will likely continue to creep lower for the next few quarters. CURRENT CONDITIONS Net absorption in the Phoenix office market totaled more than 262,000 square feet in the fourth quarter, after tenants moved into a net of nearly 710,000 square feet in the preceding three-month period. Tenant moves in the past six months more than offset a soft first half of 2011, bringing year-end total net absorption to approximately 614,000 square feet, or 0.5 percent of total inventory. While the Phoenix metro area recorded positive net absorption as a whole, results were mixed at the submarket level. For the year, only 13 of the 25 submarkets in Greater Phoenix recorded positive net absorption. Absorption was strongest in the Downtown South submarket, totaling more than 490,000 square feet in 2011. Attracting tenants to the submarket has come at a cost however, as asking rents in the Downtown South submarket have dropped nearly 20 percent over the past two years, nearly double the pace of rent declines for the metro as a whole. Each of the three Scottsdale submarkets recorded positive net absorption in 2011, with the Scottsdale Airpark leading the way as tenants moved into nearly 320,000 square feet. The submarkets in north central Phoenix recorded the most significant negative net absorption in 2011. A combined total of more than 270,000 square feet of negative net absorption was recorded in the Midtown/Central Phoenix, Piestewa Peak Corridor and Paradise Valley submarkets over the past year. A metrowide flight to quality is the primary cause for the absorption trends in these areas. More than 80 percent of the inventory in these submarkets is Class B or Class C space, and with tenants finding attractively priced Class A options, retaining tenants has proved challenging. Tenants continued to show a clear preference for top-tier spaces in recent quarters.

Despite Restrained Job Growth, Absorption Positive for Third Straight Quarter

tHe brOader vieWThe Greater Phoenix office market ended 2011 on a relative high note, highlighted by a third consecutive quarter of positive net absorption and a modest vacancy decline to 22.1 percent. The recent stabilization in the office market brightens the outlook for 2012, when economic expansion and employment growth are likely to accelerate. While demand will outpace new supply, the metrowide vacancy rate will remain above 20 percent, and rents will likely continue to creep lower for the next few quarters.

current cOnditiOnsnet absorption in the Phoenix office market totaled more than 262,000 square feet in the fourth quarter, after tenants moved into a net of nearly 710,000 square feet in the preceding three-month period. Tenant moves in the past six months more than offset a soft first half of 2011, bringing year-end total net absorption to approximately 614,000 square feet, or 0.5 percent of total inventory.

absorption in Class A space typically accounted for roughly half of the market total.

Asking rents continued to creep lower in the fourth quarter, dropping 1.3 percent to $20.48 per square foot. After declining 7 percent in 2010, asking rents retreated 3.8 percent during the past 12 months with rents in all property classes contracting.

While transaction activity was fairly steady during the first three quarters of 2011, velocity slowed during the fourth quarter. Even after accounting for a slowdown in the last three months, transaction activity in 2011 outpaced 2010 levels by approximately 25 percent, as the uncertainty that prevailed in the market is lessening. The median price in deals closed in 2011 was $82 per square foot, nearly identical to the 2010 median. Cap rates also remained similar to year-

earlier levels, averaging in the mid-8 percent range in deals closed during the past 12 months.

in tHe mOntHs aHeadWhile 2011 was a year where the office market largely stabilized, 2012 will be a period of strengthening office fundamentals. The primary driver of improvement will be the local labor market, which should expand more rapidly in the coming quarters. While the Phoenix area recorded some of the strongest employment growth in the country in 2011, the primary office-using sectors of the local economy actually continued to contract during the year, ending 2011 at levels comparable to 2003-2004. This trend is forecast to reverse course in 2012 and the addition of employees will support net absorption of office space, although space demand and hiring will not move in lockstep, due to tenants backfilling empty cubicles as they add the first waves of new workers.
