MARKET SPOTLIGHT Atlanta-Area Office Properties  The sales market just completed its busiest two-year stretch ever, even though trades dipped 7% last year from the $3.8 billion record in 2015.  Half of the Class-A inventory changed hands over the past three years, including many large trophies. That heavy turnover limits the potential number of Class-A offerings this year. The sweet spot is likely to be suburban properties valued at $50 million to $100 million.  In the Class-A sector, rents have grown faster at urban properties than at suburban ones since 2014, widening the gap, according to JLL. Priced-out tenants could turn to the suburbs, the brokerage added. On the Market Hit SF Estimated Value Property Seller Market (000) ($Mil.)
