Our market has been waiting patiently for new seeing for themselves. This is their take on what the numbers actually product to come to market in order to provide some breathing mean for the Austin office market. room, but as we get closer to buildings being delivered (Domain, North, East) and beginning construction (CBD), we’re hearing about Austin’s current office market can be summed up in three words: big corporate users preleasing space. We’ll give you a hint: Look at fast, competitive and expensive. While absorption decreased and the big users that have been taking down space for the past 3 years vacancy went up slightly in the second quarter, the market has and expect more of the same.

It’s important *Rates inclusive of estimated operating expenses. to do your homework and consider the possible pitfalls associated with high density: Are you at risk of triggering a density clause? Can you park your employees? Will the air conditioning and electric capacity keep up in August? Also, all tenants need to pay close attention to continuously rising construction costs. Taking the time to think through construction and get preliminary bids can be the difference between a great process and a messy one.
