Data as of June 2017 San Francisco Office Report | Second Quarter 2017 3 Listings and Vacancy Roughly 5.4 million square feet of office space was listed as of June 2017, at an average asking price of $54.71 per square foot for Class A and A+ space, and $45.07 per square foot for Class B. In spite of the premium put on office space in the market, overall vacancy remains relatively low, at 8.5% as of June. A large slate of new office space is set to be delivered over the coming quarters, but strong leasing is already pointing toward maintained vacancy levels in the short term. San Francisco’s CBD posted an average vacancy rate of 8.0%, with 1.7 million square feet of space currently available for lease. Vacancy is lowest in the market’s secondary urban quadrant (5.7%), as the high asking rates in the CBD and urban primary regions have led to a contraction of availability in secondary locations. Suburban assets maintained relatively low vacancy rates year-over-year, as fast absorption is eating up available space within the San Francisco city limits. Meanwhile, increasing asking rates are pushing tenants to look for space in fringe submarkets. As a result, vacancy in primary suburban (11.4%) and secondary suburban (10.5%) areas will likely decline. The Mission Bay submarket boasts one of the metro’s lowest vacancy rates (5.6%), but that may change given the more than 2 million square feet of space under construction. At 26.7%, vacancy is highest in the Colma- Brisbane submarket, which is just outside the San Francisco city limits. A wave of new developments in the urban core has attracted the attention of urban-focused tenants.

Data as of June 2017 San Francisco Office Report | Second Quarter 2017 4 Supply Although new office space has been added at a steady rate over the 12 months ending in June, deliveries are set to spike in 2017, as nearly 5.7 million square feet of office space is projected to come online. That’s just 150,000 square feet more than the total developers added to the market between 2014 and 2016. Work is underway on 29 projects totaling roughly 9 million square feet of office space, with an additional 22 million square feet in the planning and permitting stages. San Francisco’s office pipeline points toward heightened development activity throughout the coming years. Development activity is high in established submarkets located within San Francisco’s city limits such as South Beach (3.6 million square feet) and Mission Bay (2 million square feet). The largest property scheduled to come online in 2017 is the 1.4 million-square-foot Salesforce Tower in South Beach, at the heart of the San Francisco Transbay redevelopment plan.

  • Fresno County Employees' Retirement Association
    FRESNO COUNTY EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION BOARD AGENDA LETTER DATE: February 1, 2017 TO: Board of Retirement FROM: Donald C. Kendig, CPA Retirement Administrator SUBJECT: Receipt and filing of QPAM Proposal for Advisory Services along with a Proposed Investment Management Agreement – RECEIVE AND FILE Recommended Actions 1. Receive and file QPAM Proposal for advisory services by American realty along with a proposed Investment Management Agreement (IMA), and 2. Provide direction to staff. Fiscal and Financial Impacts Proposed costs to provide full service Qualified Professional Asset Management (QPAM) services would be a fixed fee of $100,000, plus an additional fixed fee of 50 basis points (one half of a percent) of any amounts financed. Discussion At first, the amount might seem shocking; however, there is a substantial amount of work that will be required to underwrite, evaluate, and set up the real estate investment. The 50 basis point fee is remarkably low for the services contemplated in Exhibit A. For example, $4,000,000 financing would generate a fee of $20,000. This would be an entity on our side when it comes to negotiating rates and other lending commissions whereby the expertise could save well above that amount. Staff can likely handle the accounting. The intricacies of leasing might prove problematic, even though Colliers International is our broker. Given my recent experience, our Leasing Broker will come to me to ask what I want to agree to. I have to be honest. I am not exactly sure. American Realty would be very sure. Staff will ask what the proposed cost would be for just the property analysis and if $100,000 is firm.
