OklahomaOklahoma CityCity Office Market Summary Year End 2004 OklahomaOklahoOklahomama CityCityCity Office Market Summary Contents During 2004 the Oklahoma City offi ce market continued to rebound and actually showed marked improvement in key suburban submarkets. Overall, Offi ce Market Summary ............ 2-3 the market’s vacancy rate dropped from 21.7% to 19.9%. That would be Offi ce Submarket Map ................ 3 considered a good year in any year, but given the slowly improving, yet still Central Business District ............ 4-5 unsettled national economy that was negatively affected by both an ongoing Northwest ................................ 6-9 war and a presidential election, 2004 would have to be considered a very North .................................. 10-12 good year. Midtown ................................... 13 West ................................... 14-15 Although the Central Business District’s vacancy increased from 30.6% to Suburban Analysis .................... 15 31.7%, the suburban markets fared much better, particularly in the higher- end properties. The overall suburban vacancy rate fell from 16.5% to 12.9% and Class A suburban space experienced a dramatic 14-point decrease from 23.6% to 9.7%. In just the past two years, the Class A suburban vacancy rate has fallen 25 points from its recent high of 34.6% at the end of 2002. Major gains were made at virtually every suburban Class A building. Waterford absorbed approximately 47,000 square feet of vacancy, Quails Springs Parkway Plaza absorbed approximately 60,000 square feet and Hertz Financial Center absorbed approximately 91,000 square feet. Of course, Hertz largely benefited from Dell Computer’s temporary lease of approximately 60,000 square feet while their permanent facility is constructed. Still, this progress is signifi cant. Just like last year, this improvement in the Class A sector of the outlying submarkets is really the story for 2004. The Class A sector has historically driven the rest of the market. As Class A occupancies increase, so do the rental rates of not only the Class A buildings, but other market classifi cations as well. Quoted Class A suburban rates increased an average of $1 per square foot during 2004.

The approximate one point increase in vacancy was felt across the board in each building classifi cation. 2005 should be a better year for the downtown market as the parking situation begins to improve with the completion of Phase I of the expansion of the Galleria parking lot and the addition of the new county parking facility. Parking will always be a critical issue for CBD tenants and landlords. Hopefully, the additional spaces coming on line in 2005 and 2006 will entice local tenants to consider the CBD as a more viable alternative. Most CBD buildings that either have on-site parking or have negotiated long-term parking arrangements for the benefi t of their tenants, have actually faired rather well and should continue to do so. It should also be noted that as in past years, more than 62% of the CBD’s available space lies within its older, less functional, Class C buildings. The Class A vacancy rate is actually only 16.9% and the Class B vacancy rate is 20.2%. 2005 should prove to be another positive year for the local office market. The national economy is experiencing a steady recovery and leasing activity is defi nitely accelerating. Existing tenants are expanding more than contracting and more new companies are opening offi ces in Oklahoma City. It should also be noted that no new construction completions are scheduled for 2005. A static inventory of available buildings will positively affect the market’s ability to absorb available space. 3 OklahomaOklahoma CityCity Central Business District 2004 OKLAHOMA CITY CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT REVIEW • Aggregate vacancy rates increased from 30.6% to 31.7%. • Class A vacancy increased from 15.5% to 16.9%. • Class B vacancy increased from 18.3% to 20.2% • Class C vacancy increased from 58.6% to 60.7%. • Aggregate rental rates increased from $12.31 to $12.77 per SF. • Class A rates increased from $15.50 to $15.93 per SF. • Class B rates increased from$11.96 per SF to $12.06 per SF. • Class C rates increased from $9.71 per SF to $10.44 per SF. • The Oklahoma City Central Business District had negative absorption of 56,000 square feet during 2004. 2005 OKLAHOMA CITY CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT FORECAST • Vacancy rates may should remain near current levels throughout 2005. • Rental rates will also remain near current levels. 4 Central Business District RENTABLE SQ.
