  • Running in Cycles
    Runningin cycles Ups and downs in the market for downtown office space. By Jane Katz ast spring, more than two years after the end of the recession, downtown Boston still had lots of empty offices. The vacancy rate for prime office space hovered above 10 percent, in the neighborhood of its recent peak, with suburban rates substantially higher. And asking rents for downtown Class A space at $30 to $40 per square foot were still declining. The story was similar in Hartford (vacancy rate 20+ percent) and in other parts of the country such as Chicago, San Francisco, and San Jose (15+ per- cent). Nationally, the downtown vacancy rate averaged almost 14 percent with rents falling about 4 percent year over year. Yet only a few years earlier in 2000, the U.S. vacancy rate in downtown office markets had been about half that level. In Boston, prime space was even tighter, with vacancies running below a minuscule 2 percent and asking rents topping $60 per square foot.
