Boston Office Market Report BOSTON OFFICE MARKET REPORT THIRD QUARTER 2017 FLAT ABSORPTION AMIDST MOVING PIECES As the nation’s 10th largest metro and population growth exceeding San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, Boston has cemented its status as one of the premier Global Markets as a “must have” location. Not surprisingly, rumors surrounding Amazon’s HQ2 are running rampant with many local professionals thinking the Hub stands an excellent chance to land the second behemoth headquarters for the booming Amazon. In addition to the buzz surrounding the potential Amazon expansion, the local market remained extremely active with several large chips announcing relocations this quarter. Rental rents have responded favorably with the average rate eclipsing $55.26 per square foot. With a combined vacancy rate at 7.0% across Downtown’s eight distinct submarkets, the overall market has remained at its lowest levels since the dot-com boom of the early 2000’s. Firmly rooted in education, technology and life sciences, the region’s diverse economic base has submitted strong job growth through increased recruitment and skilled labor retention from the area’s leading universities and institutions. Looking forward, expect sound market conditions and a diversified economy to guide the greater Boston commercial real estate market to a strong performance over the next several years. # 4.2% # 4.4% # 2.9% 4th AUGUST AUGUST ANNUAL HIGHEST GDP MASSACHUSETTS NATIONAL WAGE GROWTH PER CAPITA UNEMPLOYMENT UNEMPLOYMENT NATIONALLY MARKET TRENDS CLASS A - ASKING RATE BOSTON 10TH LARGEST VS.

    BOSTON OFFICE MARKET REPORT FOURTH QUARTER 2019 FLURRY OF ACTION WRAPS UP STRONG YEAR Long considered one of the nation's most historical and steadfast cities, Greater Boston has undergone an evolution over the past decade and become one of the world's most dynamic gateway cities and top tier investment markets. A global icon for its outstanding research universities, medical centers and technological advancement, Greater Boston's expansion has been fueled by its diverse economy and record setting venture capital and NIH funding. Not only has the local population grown at a rate well above the national average, but the job market has kept pace with the state's unemployment rate measuring below three percent. The marked increase in both population and job growth can largely be attributed to over 40% of students from local universities and colleges that are electing to remain in Boston following graduation. Not surprisingly, Greater Boston's workforce has become one of the nation's most youthful, with 35% of its workers between the ages of 20 and 34 compared to the national average of only 20%. The region's strengthening demographics and economy have promoted a transformative phase across the state that has ushered in new retail, residential and infrastructure development that has not been achieved in decades. Looking forward, expect durable market conditions and a diversified economy to guide the region's commercial real estate market to a strong performance over the next several years. 2.9% 3.5% $11. 5 B #1 NOVEMBER NOVEMBER GREATER BOSTON NATIONALLY MASSACHUSETTS NATIONAL VC FUNDING R&D FUNDING UNEMPLOYMENT UNEMPLOYMENT (2018) PER CAPITA CLASS A MARKET ASKING RATE VS.

    BOSTON OFFICE MARKET REPORT SECOND QUARTER 2018 NO SIGNS OF SUMMER SLOWDOWN Greater Boston's market showed no signs of weakening during the second quarter by recording strong growth from numerous industry types. The market continued receiving inbound demand as well as converting organic growth into significant expansion. Most notably, Amazon's commitment to nearly 430,000 square feet at Parcel L4 in the Seaport reflects inbound demand while Wayfair's torrid expansion into roughly 395,000 SF in the Back Bay at 222 Berkeley and 500 Boylston Street exemplifies organic growth.

    BOSTON OFFICE MARKET REPORT FOURTH QUARTER 2017 OUTSTANDING YEAR LEAVES BRIGHT FUTURE The past year's headlines were marked by all the premier movers and shakers within the commercial real estate industry. Amazon remained the elephant in the room, with everyone from City Hall to Fenway Park speculating where the eCommerce behemoth will erect its new HQ2, if anywhere locally. Shrouded with somewhat less intrigue, GE began renovation efforts for its Fort Point headquarters despite shifting timelines and some uncertainty surrounding the scope of the larger development component. Beyond the stalwart Downtown and Seaport markets, the less publicized but increasingly competitive fringe markets including North Station and Brighton surged to close out the end of the year. Several tenant relocations from the Core markets to these burgeoning markets bolstered the nascent Class A markets. Primarily, Boston Properties rejuvenation of the parking lot outside TD Garden into a dynamic mixed-use urban playground will firmly anchor North Station, while at Boston Landing in Brighton, New Balance and its partners have quite literally created a new neighborhood as a viable alternative for ultra competitive Cambridge. Firmly rooted in education, technology and life sciences, Boston's diverse economic base has submitted strong job growth through increased recruitment and skilled labor retention from the area’s leading universities and institutions.

  • Boston Office Market Report
    BOSTON OFFICE MARKET REPORT FIRST QUARTER 2019 HOT START TO THE NEW YEAR FOR BOSTON Setting the tone for 2019, the office market has seen an increase in asking rates and decline in vacancy, both of which are likely to remain the trend through the year with limited availability projected for 2019. Despite limited availability projected for the remainder of 2019, the development pipeline in Boston will bring relief to the tight market in the years to follow. The One Congress Tower, a one million square foot office tower expected to break ground this summer, is one of the major developments that will bring new space to the market when it opens in 2023. The tower has already locked down a major tenant in State Street who will be relocating from their longtime home at One Lincoln Street. On the flip side of that equation, WeWork will backfill a significant portion of State Street’s space at One Lincoln after signing their largest lease yet in Boston at the former financial services giant’s headquarters. On a macro level, the region's demographics and economy have remained solid helping to support and promote Boston's recent expansion. Firmly rooted in education, technology and life sciences, Boston's diverse economic base has submitted strong job growth through increased recruitment and skilled labor retention from the area’s leading universities and institutions. Looking forward, expect durable market conditions and a diversified economy to guide the region's commercial real estate market to a strong performance over the next few years. 3.0% # 3.8% $12B #1 FEBRUARY FEBRUARY MASSACHUSETTS NATIONALLY MASSACHUSETTS NATIONAL ANNUAL (2018) R&D FUNDING UNEMPLOYMENT UNEMPLOYMENT VC FUNDING PER CAPITA CLASS A MARKET ASKING RATE VS.

  • Trans National Tower Leading the Way
    115 WINTHROP SQUARE RFI RESPONSE April 13, 2015 TRANS NATIONAL TOWER LEADING THE WAY April 13, 2015 Mr. Brian Golden 2 Charlesgate West Director Boston, MA 02215 Boston Redevelopment Authority 617.262.9200 Boston City Hall Square Boston, Massachusetts 02201 Dear Director Golden: On behalf of Trans National Properties ("TNP") and our development team, we respectfully submit to you the enclosed development proposal for the Trans National Tower (the "Project") in response to the Boston Redevelopment Authority's Request for Interest ("RFI") for 115 Winthrop Square (the "Property"). As you are aware, TNP's history with the site dates back to the original RFP process in 2006, concluding with a BRA vote recommending a tentative designation in 2007. Since that time TNP has invested significant time, energy, and resources to develop a viable mixed-use development program. In the Fall of 2014, in a process lead by John Fowler of Holliday Fenoglio Fowler (“HFF”) on behalf of TNP, this mixed-use proposal was vetted and deemed financially viable by both national and local co-developers and lenders. Enclosed is a letter from HFF further supporting its process and conclusions. The extensive work done over the past 9 years and, most recently, over the last 12 months, allows TNP a unique value proposition to the BRA and the City, one of certainty of execution and speed to market. In addition to highly advanced documentation for the Article 80 process, extensive due diligence regarding the site and garage, and design development and preliminary construction drawings which have been priced by Boston's most skilled and active contractors, TNP has a vetted debt and equity structure it is prepared to employ with a preferred co-development partner upon award of the Tentative Developer designation.
