The Central Business District’s vacancy rate decreased from 25.8% to 24.9%, while the suburban market remained level at 9.2%. The Northwest submarket, which is the largest in the suburbs, actually experienced a small degree of negative absorption (-18,000 SF) due to a new 42,000 SF building in the Gaillardia development being added to inventory. This submarket continues to remain strong however, as gains at other properties nearly offset the addition of new inventory.
