  • MELBOURNE CBD Office Market Overview
    RESEARCH OCTOBER MELBOURNE CBD Office Market Overview HIGHLIGHTS • Despite the current economic uncertainty, the Melbourne CBD office market recorded a surprisingly solid net absorption result in the first half of 2012 and only a slight rise in vacancy. However the immediate outlook is less promising, having been adversely impacted by contractions within the finance and government sectors; vacancy is forecast to steadily rise over the next year. • The subdued labour market conditions have also stalled rental growth with incentives having risen over the year to date, and these elevated incentive levels are forecast to remain for up to 18 months. • Investor demand remains strong for quality CBD assets, with further transactional activity only hindered by the lack of opportunities. Given the constrained volume of transactions, yields have remained stable despite the increasing investor interest.

While there is consensus stating that future tall building typologies should depart substantially from these past models, the inheritance of large and obsolete tall office building stocks presents a problem of global significance. Too old for present corporate models, but too new for gaining public historical importance, the twentieth-century office tower is a typology under threat of extinction. However, the need for a culturally informed strategy of preservation for that generation of tall buildings is seldom advocated. Drawing evidence from the case of Melbourne, Australia, this article presents a methodological pathway to overcome pitfalls of memory and interpretation, which commonly prevent an unbiased assessment of the value and urban contribution of late-twentieth-century skyscrapers.

  • MAY 2012 MELBOURNE CBD Office Market Overview
    RESEARCH MMAAYY 22001122 MELBOURNE CBD Office Market Overview HIGHLIGHTS • In the absence of any major developments completed, total vacancy fell despite subdued tenant demand. However total vacancy is now anticipated to steadily increase over the next two years, peaking at 8.2% in January 2014 after which total vacancy is forecast to trend down. • Uncertainty in the financial markets in the wake of the global economy has dampened business confidence, impacting demand for CBD office space. After an initial recovery period of rental growth, the subdued labour market conditions have stalled face rents with upward pressure now on incentives. • Despite limited transactional activity, increased demand has resulted in a marginal tightening of core market yields. Increased offshore demand and renewed interest from private investors, coupled with the increasingly attractiveness of real estate yields should lead to further transactions.
