The St. Louis office market summary document reports: 1) Job growth in St. Louis has accelerated and is now on par with national growth rates, with financial activities and professional services posting annual gains. 2) Vacancy rates have fallen below 14% for the first time since 2008 due to several large lease expansions. Class A suburban vacancy has hit single digits. 3) Large blocks of Class A office space remain scarce due to limited new construction supply, restricting options for tenants seeking over 50,000 square feet.

Job growth catches up with national pace
After steadily lagging U.S. job growth for the past four years, St. Louis has
accelerated and is now on par with the nation. With the unemployment rate at 4.5
percent, the number of people employed in the region is at an all-time high. The
two largest office occupying sectors, financial activities and professional and
business services (PBS) posted annual gains of 4.2 percent and 3.3 percent,
respectively. Like the rest of the region, both sectors are at all-time high
employment. There has been some consequences to this. According to Federal
Reserve data, one-third of contacts in a recent survey “currently do not have
enough qualified candidates from which to choose.”
Single-digit vacancy the norm in certain submarkets
As we anticipated in the first quarter, leasing activity from the previous year has
brought further reduction in the vacancy rate. With several large lease
expansions commencing from Centene, Nestlé Purina, Clarkson Eye Care, and
Varsity Tutors, total vacancy is below 14.0 percent for the first time since 2008.
Centene has been a big contributor with approximately 300,000 square feet of
expansions across the market. The Class A market remains very tight, as the
Class A suburban market has hit single-digit vacancy—a lack of new supply is
restricting options for tenants.
Large blocks of space remain in short supply
As the market continues to increase occupancy, quality Class A blocks of space
remain in short supply. While some future vacancies are on the horizon
(Hardees, Brado, and ADP) options for tenants in the market for more than
50,000 square feet are limited. With just one building under construction (Delmar
Gardens III), it begs the question when another will break ground. Several
projects are proposed in Clayton, including Centene’s massive corporate
expansion, but that is several years off. The lack of space has contributed to
companies such as World Wide Technology and Bunge choosing build-to-suit
projects over existing product. Enterprise Holdings took things a step further,
purchasing two buildings in Maryland Heights to accommodate future growth.
One building was vacant, and the other is occupied by Monsanto.
