Market Update Office 2016 Year End LFB Layout 1 ATLANTA OFFICE MARKET YEAR END 2016 Total Overall Net Under Total Average Inventory Vacancy Absorption* Construction Deliveries* Lease Rate 210,282,817 SF 14.8% 1,111,621 SF 4,617,738 SF 887,184 SF $23.35 MARKET HIGHLIGHTS Atlanta’s office market hit its stride in 2016, registering an impressive 1.063 MSF in ab- sorption in the fourth quarter alone. While the region’s performance certainly dropped from 2015 levels, a year-end total of 1,111,621 SF of improvement illustrates our region’s continued momentum. We will closely watch the delivery of 4.6M SF of new projects and how these events affect net absorption levels in 2017. Material submarket fundamentals show the greatest improvement in Midtown (583,478 SF absorbed) and Northwest (304,382 SF absorbed) which ironically placed in order for development activity as well. Significant lease transactions including Georgia Tech at CODA (289,000 SF), Troutman Sanders at Bank of America Plaza (230,416 SF), and HD Supply at Encore Center (220,000 SF) drove Atlanta’s run last year. While office landlords still hold the most cards in this expansion cycle, tenants will find numerous availability options in Northeast Atlanta and Central Perimeter. As we reach the late expansion phase of this cycle we look to development patterns and conclude construction levels remain surprisingly constrained compared to similar points in the past. The vast majority of significant new projects have pre-lease components but flying under the scale radar are 309 East Paces Ferry (Buckhead), Armor Junction (Buck- head) and Stockyards Atlanta (Midtown); all delivering the loft office environment desired on a speculative basis. While these offerings will not change market fundamentals, they will attract occupants from traditional office towers. We forecast continued interest in Class A & B investment offerings citing positive market fundamentals and rising rental rates. With the previously mentioned cap rate spread be- tween classes, look for more Class B trades in 2017 as investors chase yield. The plus $4 Billion transactions list for Metropolitan Atlanta last year reflected five sales above 900,000 SF and included 191 Peachtree Tower (Downtown), Atlanta Financial Center (Buckhead), and Sanctuary Park (North Fulton).

  • ABBC 2016 Annual Report
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, Mayor Kasim Reed INTRODUCTION | 03 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.
