Research & Forecast Report

SUBURBAN CHICAGO | OFFICEFourth Quarter 2015

Ronna Larsen Research Manager | Suburban Chicago

The Chicago suburban office market ended 2015 on a high note, reporting over one million square feet of positive net absorption for the first time in ten years.While some submarkets have gained more momentum than others, Chicago’s suburban market continued to regain its strength throughout 2015. Over one million square feet of notable new lease transactions were signed in 2015. In addition, the suburbs witnessed 17 new lease transactions greater than 25,000 square feet in 2015 compared to just 10 in 2014.

Trends

The velocity of investment and user sales throughout the suburban office market continued throughout 2015. Notable transactions included GE Capital/Arden’s seven-property, 3.6 million-square-foot portfolio sale to The Blackstone Group, GE Capital/Arden’s four-property, 697,672-square-foot portfolio to Cornerstone Realty Advisors and Wells Fargo/Hudson Advisors’ 423,369-square-foot, four-building portfolio sale to Walton Street Capital/Glenstar. In addition, several investment properties were added to the market in 2015, including seven in the fourth quarter alone.

Landlords of existing inventory struggle to make their properties relevant as today’s tenants demand a more efficient work environment. Amenities such as employee wellness / fitness centers, food service, tenant lounges and conference centers are now becoming standard. Those high quality, true Class A assets with these features are a hot commodity.

In addition, 4.00/1,000 parking ratios that were once standard are no longer able to accommodate some users. While some properties such as Continental Towers have taken on the expense of adding parking garages, others continue to offer aggressive concessions and rental rates.

Vacancy

Overall vacancy in the suburban office market reached pre-recession levels, ending the year at 19.6 percent compared to 20.7 percent at the end of 2014. While the O’Hare and North markets showed significant improvement, the Lisle-Naperville market reported the lowest vacancy of all the submarkets with 18.0 percent.

Vacancy in Class A properties reached a seven-year low, ending 2015 at 18.4 percent, down from 19.6 percent at the end of 2014. When considering high quality, true Class A assets, the improvement in vacancy is more significant at 16.0 percent, compared to 18.3 at the end of 2014. Sublease vacancy witnessed a decrease in 2015 as well, dropping to 1.2 percent from 1.8 percent at the end of 2014.

Absorption

Overall net absorption ended 2015 with positive 1,241,667 square feet, a vast improvement from year-end 2014’s total

of negative 193,623 square feet. Larger tenant movement including Baxalta and PSAV were major contributors to the increase of absorption.

Class A properties alone achieved 839,963 square feet of positive net absorption compared to negative 381,310 square feet at the end of 2014.

Large Blocks of Availability

There are currently 37 properties in the suburban office market that can accommodate large (100,000 square feet and above) users. 27 of those properties are Class A. While large blocks of space in the O’Hare and Oak Brook markets are limited, the Northwest market offers the majority of options.

Rents

Average Class A asking rents increased in 2015, rising to $28.40 per square foot gross, up from $27.70 per square foot gross at year-end 2014.

The average asking rent for all classes in suburban Chicago ended 2014 at $20.34 per square foot gross, up from 2014’s rate of $20.14.

Construction

While there hasn’t been any speculative construction delivered since 2010 and none is expected in 2016, build-to-suit activity continued within the suburban market. Most notably, Zurich North America’s 735,000-square-foot headquarters at Meacham Road and Interstate 90 in Schaumburg is still underway. In addition, American Academy of Pediatrics is expected to break ground on a 200,000-square-foot build-to-suit development at Park Boulevard and Pierce Road in Itasca early in 2016 and Chamberlain Group, a division of Duchossois Group, is building a 252,600-square-foot office development on the land it acquired from Follett Corporation on Swift Drive in Oak Brook.

What To Expect in 2016 > True Class A properties with amenities will continue to drive the market in 2016.

> We will see a continued increase in Class A rental rates, while Class B rates will begin a slow ascent.

> Investment sale activity will remain steady.

> A modest increase in absorption is expected.

Encouraging news for landlords in the Northwest market is the active tenants there need nearly 1.5 million square feet of space. Only time will tell if these tenants will defect to other submarkets or remain in place.

Page 5: Q4 2015 Chicago Suburban Office Market Report

O’HareDespite being the smallest of the suburban office markets, O’Hare continues to attract corporate users with its convenient highway access and proximity to O’Hare International Airport. When companies, particularly national firms, are faced with consolidating locations in the Metropolitan Chicago area, they typically give strong consideration to the O’Hare market as it is well suited for regional operations and its location is ideal for serving virtually any suburban market. Vacancy

The O’Hare market continued to improve throughout 2015, ending the year with 18.9 percent overall vacancy, down from 19.6 percent at the end of 2014. Class A vacancy ended the year at 14.7 percent, down from 16.3 percent at the end of 2014. This marks the lowest Class A vacancy in O’Hare since year-end 2000. Although the O’Hare market’s Class B properties peaked at 27.6 percent earlier in the year, they also showed improvement, ending the year at 26.3 percent.

Sublease vacancy remained low at 0.5 percent, up slightly from 0.4 reported at year-end 2014.

Absorption

Although the O’Hare market had a rough start, it ended the year strong with 97,489 square feet of positive net absorption. The bulk of the positive absorption came from Class A properties which reported 135,121 square feet of positive absorption, the strongest year-end absorption in the past four years.

Large Blocks of Availability

Options for large space requirements in the O’Hare market are limited. There are currently only four properties that can accommodate large (100,000 square feet and above) users, three of which are Class A.

Rents

Rental rates in the O’Hare market continued to rise in 2016, reaching pre-recession levels.

Class A average asking rent in the O’Hare market increased to $30.75 per square foot gross, compared to year-end 2014, when it averaged $29.86.

The average asking rate for all classes also increased, rising to $21.19 per square foot gross, up from $20.65 at year-end 2014.

Construction

No new speculative construction was completed in the O’Hare market during 2015 and none is expected in 2016.

Proposed projects include Pointe O’Hare II and O’Hare Corporate Campus, both in Rosemont. If completed, these projects could add 1.4 million square feet to the O’Hare market. In addition, Hosts Hotels & Resorts, Inc. is currently trying to obtain a zoning amendment to develop a 750,000-square-foot office building on the land next to its O’Hare Marriott property.

What To Expect in 2016

> Vacancy is expected to decrease throughout the O’Hare market, with a more significant decrease coming from Class A assets.

> Class A rental rates are expected to increase due to the lack of large blocks of availability.

> No significant multi-tenant construction is expected in 2015.

Page 7: Q4 2015 Chicago Suburban Office Market Report

NorthwestThe Northwest suburban office market has been home to an array of industries, making it the most diverse of the five submarkets. As a result, it was the hardest hit suburban market during the recession as firms began consolidating or altogether closing. Although certain pockets of the submarket have seen improvement in recent years, the Northwest market as a whole continues to struggle.Vacancy

The Northwest market retained the highest vacancy level of all the suburban markets as it ended 2015 with 21.7 percent vacancy, up from 21.1 at year-end 2014. However, this in an improvement from the 23.4 percent it witnessed during the height of the recession.

While Class A properties increased to 18.7 percent from 17.5 percent in 2014, Class B properties decreased slightly, dropping to 27.6 percent from 27.8 percent at year-end 2014. However, when considering high quality, true Class A assets in the Northwest market, there was improvement in vacancy as these assets ended the year at 19.0 percent, compared to 20.8 percent at the end of 2014.

Sublease vacancy remains low in the Northwest market with 0.8 percent vacancy, unchanged from year-end 2014.

Absorption

The Northwest market ended 2015 with 195,728 square feet of negative net absorption, compared to positive 331,754 square feet at year end of 2014.

Class A properties ended 2015 with 223,567 square feet of negative net absorption compared to 298,370 square feet of positive absorption in 2014.

NorthHome to many corporate users, The North market has primarily attracted tenants for its low Lake County tax rate to the north and its proximity to Downtown Chicago to the south.

The North market ended the fourth quarter of 2015 with 18.4 percent overall vacancy, down significantly from year-end 2014 when it reported 21.8 percent overall vacancy. Class A properties reported the most dramatic decrease, dropping to 20.9 percent for 25.5 percent at the end of 2014.

When considering high quality, true Class A assets, the improvement in vacancy is more substantial at 11.8 percent, compared to 20.0 percent at the end of 2014.

Overall sublease vacancy ended 2015 at 1.0 percent, down from 2.6 percent at the end of 2014. Sublease vacancy in the North market is at a sixteen year low.

Absorption

The North market witnessed the most improvement of all the suburban market in 2015, ending the year with positive 995,309 square feet, compared to negative 1,068,397 square feet at year-end 2014.

While all classes achieved positive absorption in the North market in 2015, Class A properties attributed to the majority of the increase, ending 2015 with 854,298 square feet of positive net absorption, compared to negative 1,198,766 square feet at year-end 2014.
