4 CENTRAL LOOP Class B buildings drive occupancy increase While the Central Loop s Class A segment continues to have a direct vacancy rate under 10 percent, its Class B market has been struggling. However, Class B buildings improved with 177,000 square feet of additional occupancy during the third quarter. The demand increase translated into the Central Loop s strongest performance since early Large lease transactions were highlighted by Accretive Health s 28,000 square foot expansion at 231 South LaSalle, and The Administrative Office of the Illinois Court s renewal at 222 North LaSalle. McCorkle Court Reporters extended and expanded at 200 North LaSalle. With respect to investment sales, one major transaction closed and two other buildings were placed under contract. A joint venture led by GAW Capital Partners and the Korea Teachers Credit Union purchased 70 West Building Address Size (sf) Building Class 11 S LaSalle St 155,819 C 161 N Clark St 116,964 A 111 W Jackson Blvd 102,943 C 1 N Dearborn St 97,261 B 111 W Jackson Blvd 83,612 C 200 N LaSalle St 71,728 B 111 W Washington St * 71,718 C 120 S LaSalle St * 69,519 B 175 W Jackson Blvd * 68,539 B 175 W Jackson Blvd * 67,725 B * Indicates future available space Italicized addresses indicate new blocks this quarter Madison for $349 million, or $243 per square foot, from Hines Real Estate Investment Trust. In addition, an unidentified buyer is under contract to purchase the 440,000 square office portion of 22 West Washington for $187 million. Chicago-based Hearn Co. agreed to purchase 55 West Monroe from LaSalle Investment Management for $140 million. The Central Loop, which has historically been home to financial organizations and law firms, will see uneven demand in office space for the near-term. However, constrained supply and convenient location will keep the Central Loop s vacancy rate below most of the CBD s submarkets. CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT The Central Loop s boundaries are the Chicago River (North), Wells Street (West), State Street (East), and Van Buren Street (South).

5 EAST LOOP Robust leasing activity continues, but occupancy remains unchanged After a strong second quarter, the East Loop experienced little net change in occupancy. Several tenants within the East Loop have leveraged soft market conditions to upgrade to Class A buildings. However, such tenants are from Class B or C buildings within the East Loop and do not generate new demand for the overall submarket. The most notable example is energy company Integrys, who will vacate 196,000 square feet at 130 East Randolph and consolidate operations into 150,000 square feet at the Class A, 200 East Randolph. While this move strengthens the Class A segment, the vacancy rate for Class B buildings will rise, and another large block will hit the market. However, Class B will see some relief when OWP&P Cannon Design occupies 61,000 square feet at North Michigan Avenue, as it relocates from 111 West Washington in the Central Loop.

The new owners face with the challenge of leasing 200,000 square feet that will become available next year. The East Loop continues to have an uphill battle in gaining occupancy levels that match its competitive submarkets. Of the nine available, contiguous blocks greater than 100,000 square feet, five represent space that will be vacated in 2012, totaling nearly 1 million square feet. Also, short-term leases for Groupon and Obama for America are set to expire next year. Considering large block availability across the CBD and speculation regarding a new office development, it remains likely that the East Loop will continue to have a higher vacancy rate compared to the rest of the CBD. The East Loop is bordered by the Chicago River (North), State Street (West), Lake Shore Drive (East), and Van Buren Street (South). It is inhabited mostly by advertising and media firms and corporate tenants.

6 NORTH MICHIGAN AVENUE Activity remains slow; Wrigley Building sold Occupancy levels remained relatively unchanged as North Michigan Avenue experienced 20,000 square feet of negative absorption. This marks the eleventh consecutive quarter of occupancy declines. At 19.2 percent, the North Michigan Avenue vacancy rate has reached its highest level in MB Real Estate s tracked history. No lease transactions greater than 20,000 square feet were signed this quarter. This is significant because tenants larger than 20,000 square feet have relocated outside of the submarket. This quarter, Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society vacated 30,000 square feet at 230 East Ohio and moved to 33 West Monroe in the Central Loop. Building Address Size (sf) Building Class 330 N Wabash Ave 371,945 B 330 N Wabash Ave 97,932 C 455 N Cityfront Plaza Dr 90,207 B 740 N Rush St 73,294 B 980 N Michigan Ave 62,384 B 401 N Michigan Ave 51,870 A CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT The submarket s biggest headline occurred when Groupon co-founders Brad Keywell and Eric Lefkofsky teamed with Zeller Realty Group to purchase the Wrigley Building at North Michigan Avenue for approximately $33 million. The new owners will seek landmark status and also plan significant renovations but are expected to lease the majority of the building as office space. Zeller Realty Group has also placed 500 North Michigan on the market, which could command offers between $70 and $80 million. North Michigan Avenue continues to have six blocks of direct, contiguous space greater than 50,000 square feet, including the 37th through 47th floors at 330 North Wabash, which total 372,000 square feet. Without significant job growth, demand will continue to falter. Vacancy rates are expected to remain high in light of tepid leasing activity. The North Michigan Avenue submarket is home to retailers, hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, advertising and marketing agencies, and the large Northwestern Memorial Hospital campus. Its borders include Division Street (North), State Street (West), Lake Michigan (East), and the Chicago River (South).

7 RIVER NORTH Vacancy continues to fall; 600 West Chicago sale closes Albeit slight, occupancy increased for the sixth consecutive quarter. The submarket has been the fastest to recover from the recession and currently boasts the lowest vacancy rate in the CBD due to its inventory of creative, loft-style buildings, as well as two of the market s newest skyscrapers. Two long-term leases signed by tenants currently outside of River North will increase future occupancy and counter those tenants who are reducing their space. In January 2012, Ventas will relocate from 111 South Wacker into 29,000 square feet at 353 North Clark. The American Bar Association signed the largest lease in the submarket by renewing 201,000 square feet at 321 North Clark but will cut space by one floor. Building Address Size (sf) Building Class 111 W Illinois St 141,503 A 350 W Mart Ctr 106,168 C 321 N Clark St 61,431 A 222 Merchandise Mart Plz 50,000 B CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT CommonWealth REIT, the most active buyer this year in the CBD, closed on its purchase of 600 West Chicago for roughly $390 million ($249 per square foot). The sellers paid $290 million for the building at the height of the real estate bubble in 2007 when the building was 78 percent leased. Another prominent property is back on the market as Vornado Realty Trust looks to sell the 1.2 million square foot 350 North Orleans. One obstacle facing River North is that 5.4 percent of inventory is available for sublease, compared to 2.4 percent for the entire CBD. Once the underlying leases expire, these spaces will convert to direct vacancy. The submarket will need to continue to attract tenants from other submarkets or cities in order to keep vacancy below the rest of the CBD. The borders of the River North submarket are defined as Division Street (North), Racine Avenue (West), State Street (East), and Fulton Street and the Chicago River (South). It has historically been home to small, older buildings catering to art galleries, furniture studios, and small businesses, but has seen new development which has brought law firms and financial institutions to the submarket.

8 SOUTH LOOP Smallest submarket now has highest direct vacancy rate in CBD As has been the case since the downturn, the South Loop continued to see vacancy rates rise. At 20.6 percent, the South Loop now has the highest direct vacancy rate of the CBD s submarkets. However, due to the South Loop s limited inventory, one large tenant has the ability to drastically impact the performance of the submarket. One Financial Place comprises nearly half of the total amount of office space in the South Loop and is the submarket s only Class A building. Behringer Harvard, the building s owner, was able to secure a $90 million refinance loan during the quarter just nine days before the loan was due. The refinance required significant equity, since it was acquired at the height of the market in Building Address Size (sf) Building Class 619 S LaSalle St 89,000 C Approximately 61,000 square feet in the building is set to become directly available next quarter. This is largely due to the consolidation of back office operations at Goldman Sachs. If the building does not attract enough demand to fill this space next quarter, vacancy will continue to climb and could reach the highest levels in MB Real Estate s tracked history. The boundaries of the South Loop include Van Buren Street (North), I-90/I-94 (West), Lakeshore Drive (East), and 16th Street (South). The South Loop is populated primarily with education, small businesses, and converted residential properties.

9 WEST LOOP Class A continues to outperform the CBD The West Loop posted its sixth consecutive quarter of positive demand and continues to recover faster than the rest of the CBD overall. Class A buildings now have absorbed 400,000 square feet in 2011, showing that this segment is the most desired location and asset class. For the second straight quarter, Wacker Drive was home to the largest lease transaction. PricewaterhouseCoopers renewed its lease for 279,000 square feet at 1 North Wacker. Fifth Third Bank renewed its lease and expanded to 218,000 square feet at 222 South Riverside, increasing its footprint by 38,000 square feet. Acquity Group renewed and expanded at 500 West Madison for a total of 65,000 square feet.

The Multi-Employer Property Trust purchased 200 West * Indicates future available space Madison from a Tishman Speyer & Transwestern joint venture for $218 million, or $235 per square foot. The property is 88 percent leased and was acquired in an all-cash transaction. Irvine Company, who purchased 71 South Wacker last year, agreed to purchase a 50 percent stake in 1 North Wacker for an estimated $443 per square foot. Hines Real Estate Investment Trust will retain the remaining 50 percent stake. Willis Tower and 311 South Wacker remain on the market. Due to the amount of leasing activity the submarket has experienced, MB Real Estate expects further positive absorption in the West Loop next quarter. Also, the investment sales market will continue to heat up as institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals bid for the some of the largest and most iconic buildings in the CBD. CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT The West Loop s borders are defined as the Chicago River (North), I-94/I-90 (West), Wells Street (East), and Van Buren Street (South).

11 EAST-WEST Class A buildings outperform submarket; rest of Suburban market Driven by strong demand for Class A buildings, the East- West submarket experienced its largest quarterly absorption since the second quarter of While Class B and C buildings saw minor occupancy changes, Class A buildings direct vacancy dipped below 20 percent. In addition to this quarter s absorption, the East-West submarket attracted several large leases that will result in additional positive absorption in the upcoming quarters. State Farm Insurance signed the largest lease in the entire Suburban market: a 154,000 square foot renewal and expansion at 1400 Opus Place in Downers Grove. This new lease results in an additional 82,000 square feet of occupancy.

American Realty Advisors purchased the Oak Brook Regency Towers located at 1415 & 1515 West 22nd Street for $70 million, equating to $174 per square foot. Combined, the buildings are 93 percent leased. This transaction demonstrates that demand for core, well-located office buildings still exists in the Suburban market. With leasing activity picking up in Class A assets, but stagnating in Class B and C, MB Real Estate expects vacancy to be flat over the next quarters. Current job growth cannot create absorption across all classes, and companies are considering alternative locations. The East-West submarket encompasses Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will Counties, with major cities including Downers Grove, Lisle, Naperville, and Oak Brook.

12 NORTH Occupancy continues its slide; 909 Davis under contract The direct vacancy rate in the North submarket reached 20.7 percent, which is the highest level in MB Real Estate s tracked history. While vacancy declined in Class B buildings, Class A experienced 220,000 square feet of negative absorption as a few buildings had large blocks vacated during the quarter. Despite historically being the most desired submarket in the Suburban market, the North submarket faltered. Mercer signed the largest lease transaction by renewing its 63,000 square foot space at 540 Lake Cook Road in Deerfield. Saputo Cheese USA extended its 27,000 square feet at 25 Tri State International in Lincolnshire. While retaining large tenants is crucial to a recovery, neither deal results in increased occupancy.

The seller, American Real Estate Capital, previously had the property under contract for $200 per square foot, but the deal fell through last fall. The 195,000 square foot building is fully leased, with a majority occupied by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. With weak leasing activity, seven direct blocks more than 100,000 square feet and an additional three blocks greater than 130,000 square feet available for sublease, MB Real Estate continues to maintain a negative short-term outlook. Sustained job growth and the retention of large tenants are necessary for occupancy to grow towards levels seen just a couple of years ago. The North submarket is located within portions of Cook and Lake Counties, with major cities including Bannockburn, Deerfield, Evanston, Glenview, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, and Vernon Hills.

13 NORTHWEST Another weak quarter leads to highest vacancy rate in suburbs Occupancy declined for a sixth consecutive quarter as several large lease rollovers increased the amount of vacant space. At 27.5 percent, the Northwest submarket has surpassed O Hare to have the highest direct vacancy rate in the suburbs.

Lincoln Financial will relocate within submarket and into 47,000 square feet 1701 Golf Road in Rolling Meadows. Intuit signed a 10-year lease for 24,805 square feet at 95 West Algonquin. A surplus of large blocks continues to hamper any potential recovery. The Northwest has 17 contiguous blocks of at least 100,000 square feet available for direct lease, more than any other submarket in Suburban Chicago. In addition, AT&T is marketing its 1.2 million square foot campus in Hoffman Estates for sublease. With numerous options available, large tenants evaluating the Northwest submarket will continue to have the upper hand in lease negotiations for the foreseeable future. The Northwest submarket is located within the portions of Cook, Kane, Lake, and McHenry Counties, with major cities including Arlington Heights, Itasca, Rolling Meadows, and Schaumburg.

14 O HARE Demand flattens; three-building Columbia Centre trades in short sale The O Hare submarket experienced occupancy losses in Class A buildings but slight increases in Class B and C. The direct vacancy rate remains below its peak. However, vacancy rates for Class B and C properties are still well over 30 percent. As firms continue to shed space or relocate outside of the submarket, O Hare failed to attract new large tenants during the quarter. The American Board of Radiology, who signed a 10-year lease for 50,000 square feet at 5440 North Cumberland Avenue in Chicago last quarter, will not occupy its space until Spring This represents the only known large future addition to occupancy.

The properties, which have a combined vacancy rate of 25 percent, were acquired by a joint venture of White Oak Realty Partners and Pearlmark Real Estate Partners from Transwestern Investment Company. Tenants with large space requirements have considerable options with 10 direct blocks and one sublease block of space greater than 50,000 square feet available. Given the amount of options, O Hare will continue to be a tenants' market. The O Hare submarket is located in northwestern Cook County, with major cities including northwestern Chicago, Elk Grove Village, and Rosemont.
