Austin’s office market continues to deliver as
we hit the midyear mark
Boots On The Ground Commentary by David Bremer
Our “Boots on the Ground” view point is the voice of our experts, who
have broken down the market data and compared it to what they are
seeing for themselves. This is their take on what the numbers actually
mean for the Austin office market.
There are two mistruths I’ve heard perpetuated by the real estate
community, including myself once or twice, over the past year: (1)
This occupancy and these rates can’t last forever, and (2) MoPac
construction should be done soon.
The Austin office market rebounded sharply in the 2nd quarter,
with extremely high Net Absorption of almost 600,000 RSF.
Vacancy remained relatively flat, however rates continue to trend
higher.

Given low availability, robust demand, and little relief from new
supply, the office story in Downtown Toronto is expected to remain
one of historically tight conditions and rising rental rates. On the
suburban front, availability is expected to trend upward in GTA
West as over 800,000 square feet (sf) hits the market in the second
half of 2019. GTA East will continue to see a moderate performance
with less than 200,000 sf of space tracked to become available this
year.
JLL Louisville Industrial Outlook - Q3 2016Ross Bratcher
Speculative development in River Ridge accelerates with the upcoming completion of the East End Bridge as 2.54 million square feet of space has delivered year-to-date in the submarket. Industrial employment growth receives a boost from Louisville’s “Big Three” (Ford, UPS, and GE/Haier). Developers are answering the call for new modern bulk warehouse product, construction is focused in the Southern Indiana, Airport, and Bullitt County submarkets.
With demand rising steadily and supply running low in Columbus, now is a great time to be a landlord. As a tenant, with the introduction of many "big" players in the Columbus market and the third party vendors that follow, now is the time lease or become an owner/occupier before the market fully adjusts to today's supply and demand of industrial space.

=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

Boots On The Ground Commentary by Zach Ellis
Our “Boots on the Ground” viewpoint is the voice of our experts, who
have broken down the market data and compared it to what they are
seeing for themselves. This is their take on what the numbers actually
mean for the Austin office market.
January brought many of the sentiments that typically usher in
a new year: optimism, excitement, eagerness and confidence
based on not only the preceding quarter, but on the past year and
numerous years before it. The first quarter of 2020 continued
as it had in recent memory with headlines of tenants expanding
or relocating to Austin, venture capital backing local startups,
a near record-breaking construction pipeline, historically low
unemployment rates, and our fair city topping the charts on most
“Best Places to…” lists. Fast forward to Q2 and the headlines
flooding our inboxes tell a different story.
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, most companies are being
forced to reevaluate operations with health and culture in mind and
redefine standards and best practices for each. What will the future
of work look like and what is the impact of work from home (WFH)
and a distributed workforce on productivity, space, and the sense
of togetherness? Will density of workspaces decrease as higher
importance is placed on personal space? How will technology
and innovation propel us forward and will ballooning tech budgets
be viable for all companies? How will building owners revive
confidence in the safety of their buildings?
Though not all is doom and gloom. This market correction may
loosen Landlord’s previously ironclad grip and return Austin
to more nostalgic times for many tenants leasing office space.
Combine this with a glut of sublease space surely to flood the
market throughout 2020 and historically low interest rates, now
is an optimal time for sure-footed companies looking to transact
on leases and purchases while others take aim on the growing
talent pool ripe with eager workers. People across the entire
CRE spectrum (tenants, landlords, lenders) are all intertwined,
codependent and are openly collaborating to find realistic solutions.
Unprecedented times will undoubtedly affect
Austin’s office market
Future Forecast
The spirit of Austin has played no small part in fueling the success
of those who call it home. This spirit has not changed and is why
our city will continue to prosper once the current crisis is (mostly)
in the rearview mirror.
Necessity breeds innovation. Every downturn has ended in an
upturn. This too shall pass. Whatever your mantra may be during
trying times, we are all in this together and we will persevere. The
future may currently be unclear, but we are confident there is a
headline just around the corner showcasing an Austin company
who did not succumb, but faced their challenges head on and
innovated the world of tomorrow for us all.

Austin Office Overview
In the first quarter of 2020, Austin’s office market reported 35,453
SF of negative net absorption. A large amount of the negative
absorption occurred in Class A buildings with a total of 271,539
SF of negative net absorption. Class B buildings in Austin posted
209,275 SF of positive net absorption, and Class C properties
recorded 26,811 SF of positive net absorption.
There is 5,319,761 SF of office space under construction and
1,443,977 SF of that is pre-leased. Looking forward, the second
quarter of 2020 we expected to record 1,078,653 SF of deliveries
with 356,673 SF of that being pre-leased, but COVID-19 may
change those projections. One of the buildings set to deliver in
the second quarter of 2020 is Highland 3 at 523 East Highland
Boulevard; the entire 250,000 SF building is 100% leased prior to
delivery.
Domain 12 at 11800 Alterra Parkway was the largest building to
deliver in the first quarter. This 320,102 SF building delivered in
February and is 100% leased to Facebook. The second quarter of
2020 is expected to see eleven new buildings come online, but it is
likely that many of those deliveries will be pushed back.
The citywide average rental rate increased over the quarter from
$35.83 per SF in Q4 2019 to $35.93 per SF in Q1 2020. Class A
rental rates in Austin’s CBD decreased by 1.3% over the quarter
from $53.43 per SF to $54.16 per SF in the first quarter of 2019.
The overall suburban Class A rental rate decreased from $38.22
per SF to $37.49 per SF, over the quarter.
In February, The Wall Street Journal announced that Austin
ranks as the number one market for jobs in the United States. A
significant factor for this ranking is the fact that many major tech
companies making Austin their second home. Apple announcing
it’s new campus in North Austin is a great example. Comparatively,
Austin has a much more affordable housing market compared to
other tech cities, such as San Francisco, while also offering a highly
skilled workforce and laid-back yet active culture.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are now seeing companies laying
off many skilled workers just so they can survive this downturn.
As we watch the unemployment numbers rise, we can also look
forward to the talent that awaits once the economy begins to
bounce back and companies can begin hiring again.
Vacancy & Availability
Austin’s citywide vacancy rate increased from 12.7% in the fourth
quarter of 2019 to 13.0% in the first quarter of 2020. The East
submarket’s Class A vacancy rate had the largest jump in vacancy
moving from 2.3% in Q4 2019 to 17.1% in Q1 2020. This was
caused mostly by 37,597 SF being vacated at 901 East 6th Street.
The largest decline in vacancy was recorded in the Class C
Northeast submarket, where the rate decreased from 34.8%
to 7.3%, which is due to 62,299 SF at Promontory Point (2433
Ridgepoint Drive) being taken off the market.

Absorption & Demand
Austin’s office market posted 35,453 SF of negative net absorption
in Q1 2020. Despite this, eight submarkets experienced positive
absorption over the quarter, including CBD, Cedar Park, Central, Far
Northeast, Far Northwest, Round Rock, Southeast and West Central.
A large amount of the negative net absorption over the quarter
occurred in the Class A Southwest submarket, totaling 143,773 SF
of negative absorption. In January, Endeavor put 32,994 SF of it’s
space at 7000 West at Lantana, Building 2 (7000 William Cannon
Drive West) on the market. An additional 39,714 SF was put on
the sublease market at The Park at Barton Creek, Building 2 (3711
South MoPac Expressway). In all, 184,468 SF became available in
the Class A Southwest submarket.
The Southeast submarket helped bring the absorption number
closer to zero with 175,911 SF of positive net absorption. The
majority of the absorption in the Southeast submarket happened in
Class B space and can be partially attributed to World Class Capital
withdrawing a total of 94,775 SF in two spaces at both 8201 East
Riverside Drive and 7401 Ben White Boulevard from the market.
The Austin market recorded thirty-seven leases over 10,000 SF
each in the first quarter with a large renewal leading the way. 3M
signed a renewal for their 204,339 SF space at Parmer 3.3 (13011

157,540 SF at 1401 East 6th Street.

Austin Office Market Summary (CBD, Suburban, & Overall)
7. 7 Austin Research & Forecast Report | Q1 2020 | Office | Colliers International
Office Development Pipeline
5,319,761 SF of office space was under construction during Q1 2020. Ten buildings delivered in Q1 with the largest being Domain 12.
This 320,102 SF building was 100% leased by Facebook well before delivery. Facebook signed the lease for the entirety of the building in
September of 2018. 27% of all space under construction is already pre-leased and over 1,000,000 SF is set to deliver in Q2 2020. It is
very likely that most of these dates get pushed back due to the delay caused by COVID-19.
