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.

  • Following last quarter's announcement from Foundation Medicine

that the Cambridge-grown tenant will relocate into 580,000 square feet at 400 Summer Street in the Seaport, two additional Cambridge tenants noted their expansion plans into Boston. CarGurus has committed to 11 floors or 275,000 square at Samuels' Parcel 12 location in the Back Bay. The air rights project to be constructed above the Mass Pike will be the first of its kind in four decades and create valuable real estate at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Newbury Street.

  • Arguably the first, and certainly the largest tenant to make the

transition from Cambridge to Boston, Vertex Pharmaceuticals recently disclosed its intention to lease 256,000 square feet at iSQ where Related Beal recently delivered a fully leased phase one to Smart Labs and PureTech Health. The second phase, which is currently under construction, will reportedly be taken down entirely by Vertex. Given the explosive growth potential of life science tenants, having space under construction is crucial and drives many decisions. For Vertex, there are certainly sites available closer to their existing Fan Pier campus, however without permits and shovels in the ground there is an air of uncertainty and a 1-2 year delivery lag which is unacceptable to fast paced life science industry.

  • As recently as 24 months ago, some locals fretted over the Back

Bay's future, however the stalwart market proved its merit having absorbed 894,000 square feet over the past years and now measuring a vacancy rate below two percent. Plagued by massive relocations to Downtown and the Seaport, the gaping holes have been backfilled by the likes of Wayfair, Draft Kings, Drift and WeWork. During the fourth quarter, both Draft Kings and Drift expanded by roughly 20,000 square feet each. The market gained additional momentum from the relocation announcement by CarGurus noted above as well as indications from Boston Properties that their redevelopment atop Back Bay Station will likely kickoff in early 2020.

  • Strong momentum also swept across the Financial District where

annual absorption reached 697,000 square feet. Demolition and construction carried on at One PO Square, which may have contributed to Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough's decision to relocate their legal offices to 43,000 square feet at One Financial Center when their lease expires next year. While not relocating, LEK Consulting announced a 15,000 square foot expansion at 75 State Street which brings their operations to roughly 78,000 square feet.

  • Despite all the recent turmoil and uncertainty surrounding WeWork,

other co-working brands continued more measured and steady growth. Most notably, Knotel has established their first location in greater Boston at 239 Causeway Street in the thriving North Station submarket. The property, essentially kitty corner to the wildly popular Hub on Causeway destination, will mark Knotel's first foray into Boston. The 26,000 square foot space will hopefully be the first of many, with Knotel executives reportedly having identified other locations across the Back Bay and South End which will likely become additional outposts in 2020.

  • The Seaport continued its poll position as the rent market leader

with average asking rents reaching $60.00 per square foot. Rents are up 22% from three years ago despite vacancy ticking up to roughly 10% following a few musical chair relocations. This quarter, Motif signed a 10,600 square foot lease at 27 Drydock Avenue, Dimella Shafer relocated into 13,800 square feet at 24 Farnsworth Street and Bynder moved into 8,900 square feet at 321 Summer Street from 24 Farsnworth Street.

  • Having purchased 451 D Street last year, Related Beal, who

have quickly become one of the larger Life Science landlords in the Seaport, are working diligently to implement a selective lab conversion plan into the creative office building. The team recently secured three life science leases totaling 22,000 square feet. Silicon Laboratories took 11,000 square feet, Stevanato Group signed for 6,000 square feet and Elektrofi leased 5,000 square feet. The conversion serves as a relief valve for non blue chip lab tenants seeking asylum from Cambridge's stranglehold.

  • The Investment Sales market across the Class A & B markets

performed very well with several large transactions crossing the finish line before year's end. In the Seaport, the building that kicked of Fan Pier's success, One Marina Park, was sold by its original developers, the Fallon Company and Barings, to Clarion Partners for $482 million or roughly $1,000 per square foot. In the Financial District, Rockpoint Group acquired 100 Summer Street from Blackstone for $806 million or $732 per square foot. Presumably having worked out the ground lease details, Carr Properties and Starwood reportedly have 60 State Street under contract for $620 million or $680 per square foot.

    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

    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. The region's demographics and economy have remained solid which has supported and promoted 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.

    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.

    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.
