  • San Francisco Office Market Monitor Partnership
    San Francisco Office Market Monitor partnership. performance.. Q2 2012 Market Facts Market Takeaway Vacancy Rates Fueled by a booming technology sector, San Francisco’s office market 20.0% continues to surpass the nation in a range of major indicators. 15.0% San Francisco’s unemployment rate declined to 7.4 percent in May after 10.0% hovering near the 8 percent national average at the start of the year. Job growth, primarily driven by the technology sector, is helping to fuel the current 5.0% period of strong leasing activity. Across the city vacancy rates are down an average of 3.6 percent from a year ago, and nearly 1 percent lower than last 0.0% quarter. Vacancy rates have steadily declined in the last two and a half years YE06 YE07 YE08 YE09 YE10 YE11 2Q12 with the past few quarters taking on steeper decreases. In highly competitive neighborhoods like SOMA, Class A buildings have a mere 2.6 percent vacancy rate, and a notable average asking rent of $57.50 per square foot (psf) full Asking Rents service. This quarter marks the two year point for consecutive quarters of positive absorption. Young, rapidly growing, and highly successful tech companies (fittingly named “gazelles”) have led the way in both newly signed leases and large moves this past quarter. Social media companies like Twitter (215,000 sf) helped establish some of the largest sweeps in absorption. Airbnb and Yelp, two other gazelles, inked two of the top five leases for a combined 264,800 sf. Even with planned renovations and some new construction, relatively little supply is expected to be added to San Francisco’s office market.
