OklahomaOklahoma CityCity Office Market Summary Mid-Year 2007 OklahomaOklahoma CityCity Office Market Summary Mid-Year 2007 CONTENTS Office Market Summary 2-3 The first half of 2007 shows a continuance of the positive trends that have persisted in the Oklahoma City office market in the past five years. During the first half of 2007 the total Office Submarket Map 3 vacancy rate dropped from 15.7% to 15.0%. The Central Business District’s vacancy rate Central Business District 4-5 remained mostly unchanged at 27.7%, while the suburban market decreased from 8.8% to 8.2%, representing its lowest vacancy in the past ten years. Northwest 6-9 The biggest news for the CBD, and in fact the entire market, was the announcement of North 0- Sandridge Energy’s purchase of the former Kerr-McGee Tower. With that acquisition, the potential scenario of approximately 450,000 square feet of inventory being dumped on Midtown 3 the market was averted. While the space at the Kerr-McGee Tower never hit the inventory West 4-5 rolls, it would have had a crippling effect on the market if a user, such as Sandridge, had not purchased the building. The first half of the year also saw a handful of new leases Suburban Analysis 5 signed with local energy companies that will further improve the CBD market. However, the majority of those energy-related gains will be offset by the addition of approximately 50,000 square feet of additional vacancy created by the addition of multi-tenant availabilities at The Reserve, which was formerly fully occupied by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Northwest submarket, which is the largest in the suburbs, absorbed approximately 67,000 SF in the first half of the year. Improvement was made in each class sector of this submarket except the Class B vacancy, which was virtually unchanged. The Class A vacancy rate in this area of town now stands at a healthy 8%. Class A rental rates now stand at $19.78 per square foot, with the better buildings achieving rental rates in the low to mid $20’s. The strength of this submarket will be tested in the next 12 months as approximately 100,000 SF of new Class A space is added to inventory. This submarket’s ability to absorb that space at rental rates of $23 to $25 per square foot will be the true test of the depth of high-end demand. The North submarket also experienced very positive results. The submarket absorbed 69,000 square feet and its aggregate vacancy rate fell nearly three full points to 4.8%. The North submarket’s Class A buildings are currently only 1.6% vacant and the Class B buildings are The information contained herein has been only 3.9% vacant, making better quality space in this area of town almost impossible to obtained from reasonably reliable sources. find. As you might expect, rental rates in this submarket are on the rise.

As noted earlier, the uncertainty of the Kerr- 2005 McGee Building has been alleviated and the market should continue to flourish as long as the local and national economies remain healthy. Two deals of note that 2006 speak to an emerging trend in the market were the recently completed leases at 2007 downtown’s Oklahoma Tower with Simons Petroleum and Quest Energy totaling -100000 0 100000 200000 300000 400000 500000 over 70,000 square feet. Due to the high occupancy rates in the suburbs neither Square Feet company was able to secure a desirable suburban option and both relocated to the Class A CBD building. The potential for more suburban companies to relocate downtown is fairly probable as suburban options continue to diminish and the CBD becomes a more desirable location due to the many improvements and amenities that have been added over the past several years. 3 OklahomaOklahoma CityCity Central Business District CBD Vacancy 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 CBD Rental Rates $15 MID-YEAR 2007 CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT REVIEW $14 • Aggregate vacancy rates remained at 27.7%. $13 • Class A vacancy decreased from 14.9% to 14.7%. $12 • Class B vacancy increased from 16.0% to 16.2%. $11 $10 • Class C vacancy remained at 60.0%. 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 • Aggregate rental rates increased from $14.22 per SF to $14.43 per SF. • Class A rates increased from $16.67 per SF to $17.06 per SF. • Class B rates increased from $13.06 per SF to $13.26 per SF. • Class C rates remained at $12.98 per SF.
