1 Q SILICON VALLEY SILICON VALLEY RESEARCH & FORECAST REPORT Finding Its Balance SILICON VALLEY SEES GROWING STABILITY The economy as a whole continues to cautiously move forward. There are some sectors, though, where talk of recovery is becoming unnecessary. Home prices are at pre-recession levels in many parts of the country, and have even surpassed those levels in some areas locally. The stock markets have surpassed their pre-recession records. The most recent blip in the stock markets climb was talk of the Federal Reserve Board ending its third round of quantitative easing due to the strength of economic indicators. The number of people employed in the San Jose area continues to grow and is the highest it has been since 2001, welcome news for the area s commercial real estate market. MARKET INDICATORS Q Q % 12.56% Gross Absorption 4,949,496 SF 6,104,063 SF Net Absorption 1,310,059 SF 2,670,060 SF SILICON VALLEY AVAILABILITY 18.00% 15.00% 12.00% 9.00% 6.00% 3.00% SILICON VALLEY GROSS ABSORPTION Square Feet in Millions New leasing and user sale activity during the second quarter of 2013 increased 23.3% over the previous quarter to register 6.10 million square feet. This amount of gross absorption is the highest since the third quarter of 2011, and is also the first time activity has crossed the 6.0 million-square-foot threshold since then. While gross absorption dipped in the industrial sector during the quarter, the office, R&D and warehouse sectors each reported increased activity of at least 24% over the previous quarter. The Silicon Valley s office and R&D sectors accounted for 80.9% of all new activity. The second quarter benefited from another decrease in pre-improved, rollover space being vacated. In total, 3.43 million square feet of space was vacated during the quarter. This is a decrease from the first quarter s already-low number, and it is the third straight quarter in which rollover space coming to market has dropped. The rate at which space is being vacated is now less than one-half the rate it was during the recession dump. The amount of space occupied in Silicon Valley s commercial real estate market increased in the second quarter and did so by the largest margin in seven and a half years. Each of the four product types, like the first quarter, contributed to the quarter s net absorption tally of 2.67 million square feet. Total vacant space fell 69 basis points to 10.2%, or million square feet. Vacant space has now decreased nine straight quarters, down from million square feet during the first quarter of The Valley s availability rate fell to 12.6%, or million square feet. This is the first time that total available space has been less than 40 million square feet since the first quarter of Occupied, available space did increase over Q1. It is not uncommon, especially in the northern submarkets, to begin marketing spaces multiple quarters in advance, as landlords seek to capture increasing demand. Unlike several recent quarters, the second quarter of 2013 did not have a handful of transactions (or bankruptcies) that tipped the scales in either direction. There was still noteworthy activity during the quarter. More of the pre-leasing activity from 2012 was realized. The office sector posted its largest gain in occupancy since the fourth quarter of Morgan Hill was home to the largest new transaction. Nonetheless, Q2 would have been strong without any of these headlines. Silicon Valley s commercial real estate market is finding its balance. Companies are becoming healthier and therefore shedding operations and space less. The increased activity during the second quarter comes without footnotes. As the market continues to right itself, it will take more to knock it off balance, and, even in this cautious economic climate, that does not seem likely anytime soon.

2 OFFICE The Silicon Valley s office sector continued to gain ground in the second quarter of the year. Activity continues to be erratic, but instead of the 23% drop-off in gross absorption witnessed in the first quarter of 2013, activity increased 48.7% during Q The 2.04 million square feet of gross absorption recorded is in-line with Colliers quarterly forecast for the year. Pre-improved, rollover space coming to the market continues to show restraint. The 1.21 million square feet of office space vacated during the second quarter, partnered with the large increase in activity, led to an occupancy gain of 824,512 square feet. The second quarter s occupancy gain surpasses all of the quarterly occupancy gains witnessed in the outstanding 2011 and post Dot-com run-up in 2005 and In fact, the last time the office sector generated net absorption at this level was the fourth quarter of % % % The office sector s vacancy rate held steady at 13.8%. While this may seem counter-intuitive given the large occupancy gain experienced during the quarter, newly completed construction is the reason. Over one-third of the second quarter s office net absorption was due to pre-leased, new construction that was completed and occupied. Since the space was pre-leased, it was never considered vacant. Additionally, the first phase of Menlo Equities project on Scott Boulevard in Santa Clara was completed, adding slightly less than 460,000 square feet of inventory to the market. This does not affect net absorption as there was no tenant movement. After leading the Silicon Valley s office sector for two straight quarters, Sunnyvale passed the reins to Santa Clara, which posted its highest level of activity since the second quarter of The 335,273 square feet of office net absorption led to the largest occupancy gain for OFFICE AVAILABILITY & RENT TRENDS Avg. Starting Rent The second quarter s occupancy gain surpasses all of the quarterly occupancy gains witnessed in the outstanding 2011 and post Dot-com run-up in 2005 and In fact, the last time the office sector generated net absorption at this level was the fourth quarter of Santa Clara since the fourth quarter of Much like Sunnyvale had newly-completed and leased developments to thank for its leading position the previous two quarters, a large part of the new activity in Santa Clara came from two completed buildings at The Irvine Company s Santa Clara Gateway project. Along with the two, 149,000-square-foot buildings which Dell and Arista occupied in that project, Great America Parkway had 118,320 square feet leased by Abbott Laboratories. While not contributing to overall occupancy gain, NVIDIA took over Renesas Electronics 200,000-squarefoot space on Scott Boulevard. San Jose s office sector nipped at the heels of Santa Clara in terms of occupancy gain. The city posted 303,060 square feet of net adsorption during the second quarter, which is the most in three years. The city s office $4.00 vacancy rate fell to 16.4%, its lowest since the beginning of San $3.00 Jose s airport submarket was the main driver, accounting for over $ % of the new activity during the quarter. The primary contributors $1.00 were Invensense, which leased 129,795 square feet on Technology $0.00 Drive, and Old Republic Title Company, which leased 20,771 square feet on Airport Parkway. Downtown San Jose also continues to gain steam. The downtown submarket has now posted two straight quarters of occupancy gain, the first time it has done so since the beginning of Highlighting activity downtown was the 17,108-square-foot lease RetailNext signed on South Market Street. Although weighted average asking rents in Palo Alto are over $1.50 per square foot higher than its closest competitor, Mountain View, the city s location still makes Palo Alto one of the top contributors in the Silicon Valley s office sector.

3 Cloudera leased 53,558 square feet on Page Mill Road. Additionally, Emerson Collective moved into 19,406 square feet in downtown Palo Alto on University Avenue. The office vacancy rate in Palo Alto stands at a relatively high 11.1%, although more than one-third of that is attributed to the 265,294-square-foot vacancy on Page Mill Road. Weighted average starting rents for office deals were $2.96 per square foot full service during the second quarter. This represents a 5.1% decrease over the previous quarter s starting rate. This is not alarming, and it highlights the spreading recovery. With fewer options in the northern submarkets, companies with space needs are looking for value and turning to the less expensive, southern submarkets % % % R&D Leasing and user sale activity continued to increase during the second quarter in the Silicon Valley s R&D sector. Gross absorption increased 36.4% from the first quarter of 2013, and has increased over 57% from the slowdown witnessed in the second half of The 2.90 million square feet of gross absorption is the highest in four quarters and is a welcome sight, indicating a recovery from the second-half stall in Another telling sign of recovery is the slowing of existing space being vacated. The 1.33 million square feet of R&D space vacated during Q2 is the lowest Colliers has on record since beginning to track statistics in Silicon Valley 25 years ago. The smaller pipeline of rollover space comes as companies become healthier and have less need to shed operations. The combination of increased tenant activity and less space being vacated allowed the R&D sector to post 1.57 million square feet of occupancy gain. This gain is higher than any quarterly gain seen in 2012 and the second highest in the last seven years. R&D AVAILABILITY & RENT TRENDS Avg. Starting Rent The combination of increased tenant movement and less space being vacated allowed the R&D sector to post 1.57 million square feet of occupancy gain. This gain is higher than any quarterly gain seen in 2012 and the second highest in the last seven years. As Colliers noted in its most recent annual and quarterly reports, the tightening market is causing companies with space needs to look at spaces that had been passed over, even during the pre-recession build-up. Two significant examples are Quantumscape s lease on Technology Drive and Barracuda Network s lease on Fontanoso Way. These two San Jose buildings had each stood vacant for at least nine years. The Fremont submarket had record-setting activity and led the Silicon Valley s R&D surge. The 709,065 square feet of new deals completed marks the first time activity has crossed 700,000 square feet in the city s R&D sector. The R&D vacancy rate in Fremont fell below 20% for the first time since the second quarter of The 352,696-square-foot occupancy gain during the second quarter was $2.00 a 156.6% increase over the first quarter s gain. Electronics for $1.50 Imaging, currently based in Foster City, bought a 118,535-square-foot $1.00 building and leased an additional 58,000 square feet in an adjacent $0.50 building on Dumbarton Circle. Another user-sale, Photo Mug s $0.00 purchase of a 78,048-square-foot building on Landing Parkway, also helped Fremont to its record level of activity. San Jose led the Silicon Valley s R&D sector in new activity. During the second quarter, 773,673 square feet of new deals were transacted. Activity has been on the rise, having increased each of the past three quarters. Since the amount of vacant space reached its recession-level peak of million square feet during the second quarter of 2010, vacant R&D space has declined to 6.32 million square feet. This amount of vacant space is the lowest in the market since the third quarter of R&D LEASING & SALES ACTIVITY SELECTED COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS - Q PROPERTY ADDRESS SQUARE FEET LANDLORD/SELLER TENANT/BUYER TYPE Northport Loop East/ Northport Court, Fremont 237,312 Bentall Kennedy (U.S.) LP Quanta Computer, Inc.

4 The northern submarkets in San Jose continue to see the majority of the action, with almost 92% of gross absorption occurring in the North San Jose, Airport and International Business Park submarkets. Nimble Storage leased 164,608 square feet on River Oaks Parkway in North San Jose, and Quantumscape leased 87,125 square feet in the Airport submarket on Technology Drive. The single, largest transaction during Q2 of any product type happened in one of the smallest and southern-most cities in Silicon Valley: Morgan Hill. Shoe Palace s purchase of a 240,200-square-foot building on Jarvis Drive is also the largest transaction this year in the Silicon Valley s R&D sector. Also posting a significant R&D 4.00% occupancy gain, Milpitas now boasts its lowest vacancy rate since the beginning of The 13.2% rate represents 1.71 million square feet of 2.00% vacant space. The largest deal in the city was Silicon Graphics lease of 97,762 square feet on North McCarthy Boulevard. Since the beginning of 2012, Milpitas has lost over 920,000 square feet of building base due to new residential development. The market only stands to become tighter given a shrinking inventory and rising residential population looking to save on commute time. Companies are still turning to Palo Alto, Mountain View and Sunnyvale despite the steep rents landlords are demanding. Large transactions in those cities during Q2 specifically Stanford Research Park and Sunnyvale Business Park pulled average R&D starting rents up 20.6% to $1.58 per square foot NNN. INDUSTRIAL In the second quarter, the Silicon Valley s industrial sector took a bit of a back seat to the three other product types, after leading the way INDUSTRIAL AVAILABILITY & RENT TRENDS 12.00% % 6.00% Avg. Starting Rent The continued decline of space being vacated allowed for the sector to realize a modest occupancy gain of 66,992 square feet. The industrial sector s run of five-straight quarters of positive net absorption is the second longest in the Silicon Valley behind the R&D sector. during Q1. Arguably, the sector performed better than Q1 if Seagate Technologies purchase of the former Solyndra site in Fremont is removed. New activity, excluding the Seagate purchase, was less in the first quarter than the second quarter. Statsitically, industrial activity has slowed 44.8% since the end of The 588,656 square feet of gross absorption in Q2 is the third lowest in the previous 20 years, and no new activity above the 35,000-square-foot threshold was registered. Outside of San Jose, no new deals above 15,000 square feet were signed. Along with a decrease in gross absorption, the rate at which industrial space was vacated continued to fall. The 521,664 square feet of space vacated in the second quarter was the lowest in almost seven years. The continued decline of space being vacated allowed for $1.00 the sector to realize a modest occupancy gain of 66,992 square $0.80 feet. The industrial sector s run of five-straight quarters of positive net $0.60 absorption is the second longest in the Silicon Valley behind the R&D $0.40 sector. The availability rate remains below 7%, currently sitting at 6.7%, $0.20 or 3.74 million square feet. $0.00 The availability rate in San Jose s industrial market continues to drop, reaching 5.4% at end of Q2. Vacant space fell to 816,752 square feet, resulting from the 146,597 square feet of occupancy gain during the quarter. Vacant space has fallen 58.9% since its recession high in the second quarter of Elks Roofing Company took 33,200 square feet on West San Carlos Avenue in two separate, 16,600-squarefoot deals during the quarter. San Jose secured two other deals above 20,000 square feet: Northwest Door s 29,160-square-foot lease on Ringwood Avenue and Vitriflex s 23,663-squarefoot lease on Zanker Road.

5 While San Jose provided the majority of the occupancy gain in the Silicon Valley s industrial sector, Gilroy, Campbell, Mountain View, and Milpitas also contributed. The largest, new activity in these four cities was Energy Source s 12,800-square-foot lease on Forest Street in Gilroy. The three other cities contributed with sub-10,000-square-foot deals. Fremont experienced an occupancy loss of 45,634 square feet. The industrial availability rate in that city increased slightly to 13.4%. Fremont s industrial sector has not followed the path of recession and recovery that most other cities and sectors have. As Solyndra expanded, vacant space fell below 400,000 square feet in the fourth quarter of 2009 and remained there through As most of Silicon Valley s commercial real estate market started showing life in 2011 and 2012, vacant space in the city started to jump. Although the city s market has gained ground since Solyndra closed its doors, vacant space in Fremont sits at 1.06 million square feet, quite a bit more than the 360,756 square feet of vacant space at the end of Lucien Ramondetta s purchase on Osgood Court of a 12,144-square-foot building highlights Fremont s activity during the quarter. Given that minimal activity occurred in higherrent industrial cities like Sunnyvale and Campbell, and that the concentration of Q2 s activity was in San Jose, average starting rents fell accordingly, to $0.56 per square foot NNN during the second quarter. WAREHOUSE New activity increased 24.7% in the Silicon Valley s warehouse sector during the second quarter. The 579,096 square feet of gross absorption marks the second straight quarterly increase in activity. This level is consistent with the average quarterly gross absorption seen during the past five years. The drivers behind the recent pick-up in activity are WAREHOUSE AVAILABILITY & RENT TRENDS 12.00% 9.00% 6.00% 3.00% Avg. Starting Rent the 20,001- to 40,000-square-foot users. Of the eighteen new deals signed during Q2 (in line with the prior quarter s seventeen), 55% fell in that size range. At the year s mid-point, the warehouse sector has already surpassed 2012 in terms of the total number of new deals signed overall in that size range. No new deals above the 100,000-square-foot threshold have been completed this year. The market is primed, however, as options have increased for those users. There are currently nine spaces above 100,000 square feet on the market. At this time last year, there were three. The healthy occupancy gain posted in Q1 was followed by another gain in the most recent quarter. Although three times more space was vacated during Q2 than Q1, the warehouse sector managed 212,146 square feet of net absorption. Similar to the first quarter, all cities in Silicon Valley with warehouse activity registered positive net absorption. The overall availability rate fell 20 basis points to 11.3%, or 4.34 million square feet. This amount of available warhouse space is still nearly double the 2.28 million square feet available during Q $0.70 $0.60 $0.50 $0.40 $0.30 $0.20 $0.10 $0.00 Although three times more space was vacated during Q2 than Q1, the warehouse sector managed 212,146 square feet of net absorption. Similar to the first quarter, all cities in Silicon Valley with warehouse activity registered positive net absorption. Fremont led the warehouse sector s occupancy gain. After a flat first quarter, the market appears to have found its footing, posting 85,388 square feet of net absorption during Q2. The availability rate fell below 12%, to 11.97%, after rising above that threshold at the end of Total warehouse space available now measures 914,303 square feet in that city. Leading Fremont s activity were two leases done in a three-building complex on Milmont Drive: a 40,320-square-foot relocation and expansion by AlterG and a new 26,888-square-foot lease signed by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.

6 San Jose accounted for 52.7% of all new activity in the Silicon Valley s warehouse sector. The 305,408 square feet of new lease and user sale activity is a four-fold increase over the previous quarter. Despite Fry s Electronics vacating their 175,600-square-foot location on Junction Avenue and other spaces being vacated, the city managed a 13,162-square-foot occupancy gain during Q2. Total available warehouse space stands at 1.94 million square feet in San Jose. The availability rate of 12.2% is still relatively high due to the maleficent year the city s warehouse sector had in San Jose had the two largest deals in the warehouse sector during the second quarter. National Auto Parts took 77,608 square feet on King Road, and Leotek Electronics USA moved into a 77,035-square-foot space on Lundy Avenue. Palo Alto was a surprising contributor to warehouse occupancy gain during the quarter. Fremont was the only city with more warehouse net absorption. Carmel Stone s 58,374-squarefoot lease on Bayshore Road is the first new deal in Palo Alto s limited warehouse sector since The 55,222 square feet of warehouse net absorption in Milpitas during the quarter brings vacant space in that city to 246,833 square feet, its lowest level since the second quarter of Calicomp Corporation expanded into an additional 34,400 square feet on Pecten Court, and now occupies the entire building. Additionally, Henry Avocado leased 29,900 square feet on Montague Expressway. Average warehouse starting rents, which have hovered around $0.45 per square foot triple net since the beginning of 2012, increased by $0.02 to $0.48 per square foot NNN. Rents are still off the levels seen during 2008, but are up from their recession-low. UNDERSTANDING ABSORPTION Colliers uses several measurements to track market conditions and deal flow. While related, the formulas to arrive at these measurements differ. Using the results of the most recent quarter, here is how Colliers measures change in availability, net absorption and effective net absorption. Change in Availability: This measurement is simply the difference between the amounts of space available at the end of one period to the next. The table below shows that total available space decreased by 1,251,044 square feet in the year s Second Quarter. Note that change in availability includes adjustments for space that is taken off the market. Space taken off the market is not a factor in net absorption measurements. Total Available end of 1Q13 40,791,721 Plus: Vacant & Occupied Space that came available in 2Q13 3,684,302 Plus: New Shell added in 2Q13 1,055,719 1Q13 Available + Newly Available in 2Q13 45,531,742 Less: 2Q13 Gross Absorption -6,104,063 Less: 2Q13 Adjustments/Taken off Market 112,998 Total Available end of 2Q13 39,540,677 Net Absorption: Net absorption measures the change in occupied space from one period to the next. In this measurement, it is important to distinguish that a building may be available, but not vacant (often the case in a sublease situation, for example). Therefore, occupancy is not reduced (negative net absorption) until the space is vacated, and sometimes that does not happen until the space is leased, creating a net absorption wash for the deal and for that particular period. New Vacant Space that came available 2Q13-1,120,403 Previously Available Space that was vacated in 2Q13-2,313,600 2Q13 Total Vacant added (Occupancy Loss) -3,434,003 1Q13 Gross Absorption (occupancy gain) 6,104,063 2Q13 Net Absorption (change in Occupancy) 2,670,060 Effective Net Absorption: In 2003, Colliers created a measurement of effective net absorption. Effective net absorption uses the same formula as the net absorption formula, except that it treats any space that comes available as if it is vacant, whether it is or it isn t. The purpose of the measurement is to get a better real time gauge of occupancy flow in and out of the market, acknowledging that space that is available for lease is likely to be vacated shortly and underutilized presently.
