Market Trends
The Austin Office Market continues to boom, posting nearly half a million square feet of positive
absorption at the end of the first quarter. The majority of leasing activity took place in the CBD
submarket, where 563,087 square feet was absorbed this quarter alone, offsetting move outs
incurred in surrounding submarkets. Although the citywide vacancy rate for multi-tenant office
space remained steady at 10% when compared to last quarter, it is important to note the delivery
of over 500,000 square feet of new inventory this quarter, indicating leasing demand is strong
enough to offset new developments. Average quoted rental rates for all classes of office space
ticked up slightly to $28.22 per square feet, an increase of $0.15 when compared to the end of
2014.
High confidence in the Austin Office market and the city’s economy has spurred on new
investment and development projects with new office construction showing no signs of slowing
down. Approximately two and a half million square feet of new office product is expected to
come online this year and another one million square feet projected so far for 2016. Pre-leasing
activity continues to stay strong through the marketing of speculative projects with many
companies securing lease deals prior to delivery. These numbers also exclude the planned
redevelopment of the Green Water Treatment Plant, a 1.86 million square feet mixed-use project
that includes a 29-story office tower with approximately 500,000 square feet of space, expected
to be completed in 2017. Google has been reported to have signed a deal to lease approximately
207,000 square feet of the speculative building.
Economy
Ranked 2nd on Forbes’ list of “America’s Fastest Growing Cities 2015” list, Austin continues to experience
expansive economic growth which has influenced further positive real estate market trends. The Texas
Capital also ranked #9 on Coldwell Banker Commercial’s list of “Top 10 Commercial Real Estate
Markets” for 2015 based on factors including population growth, office, retail, and multifamily rankings,
and the city's unemployment rate.
According to data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Austin increased employment by
approximately 4,203 jobs since the beginning of the year. The city unemployment rate dropped down to
3.4% in February which remains well below the state and national unemployment rates of 4.3% and 5.5%
respectively. Overall, wide growth in multiple job sectors, expansive population, and tight demand for real
estate product has continued to influence the explosion of economic and commercial real estate activity in
Austin.
