Local job growth, while not as robust as 216, continues to outpace national and state averages as well. High-tech and creative industries continue to fuel this economic expansion as companies such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon confirm their faith in. The city s continued ability to maintain low unemployment rates while effectively generating jobs indicates a strong and healthy local economy. Market Overview The industrial market experienced nearly 385, square feet (SF) of negative absorption during the third quarter of 217. Several large move-outs, including Pearson Inc. which vacated 135,442 SF at 95 West Howard, helped push absorption levels lower. Vacancy rates for all industrial product types remain below historical levels, coming in at 9.5% to end Q Warehouse vacancy increased 19 basis points from Q2 217 to 8.4%, while office service (flex) product dropped 8 basis points from the previous quarter to 11.2%. The average net rental rate for all property types for Q3 217 was $9.34 per square foot (PSF). Warehouse/Distribution rates rose slightly to $6.72 PSF, while Office service (flex) property types continue to outperform other industrial types, with an overall average rental rate of $12.52 PSF. Outlook While vacancy rates for industrial product remain healthy in comparison to historical averages, a trend of negative absorption seems to point to signs of a softening industrial market. With more than 85, SF of new industrial product already delivered in 217 and another 75, SF set to deliver by year s end, higher vacancies appear to be on the horizon as landlords work to fill excess space. With this increase in vacancy looming, we can assume industrial product asking rates will gradually decline as landlords discount rates in order to attract tenants. All of this withstanding, the long-term outlook for the industrial market remains upbeat. Population growth in continues at a torrid pace, and more and more businesses are making their way to the region and expanding their business footprints. This sustained economic growth should ultimately lead to a demand for both warehouse/distribution and flex space. cushmanwakefield.com

3 Industrial Q2 217 AUSTIN INDUSTRIAL Economic Indicators Q2 216 Q2 217 Employment 994k 1,23k Unemployment 3.% 3.6 U.S. Unemployment 4.9% 4.4% Market Indicators (Overall, All Classes) Q2 216 Q2 217 Vacancy 7.7% 8.6% Economy The economy remained steadfast to close out the first half of 217. With an unemployment rate of 3.6%, remains significantly lower than the national average of 4.4%, and job growth in the region also continues to outpace national averages. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics, the MSA added more than 29, new jobs to the area in the past 12 months, a 2.9% increase. Construction remains robust across as well. Several high-profile construction projects reflect the confidence taking place in the city, including the 37-story Fairmont Hotel in downtown, as well as The Independent, a 58-story residential tower that will be the tallest residential tower west of the Mississippi once it is completed in 218. Net Absorption (SF, YTD) 242k -75k Under Construction (SF) 414k 964k Average Asking Rent* $9.66 $9.21 *Rental rates reflect net asking $psf/year Overall Net Absorption/Overall Asking Rent 4Q TRAILING AVERAGE $1 5 $9 3 $8 $7 1 $6-1 $ Q2 217 Net Absorption, SF (thousands) Asking Rent, $ PSF Overall Vacancy 2% 17% 15% 12% 1% Historical Average = 11% 7% 5% 2% Q2 217 Market Overview The Industrial market rebounded from the negative absorption we saw in Q Absorption was up for Q2 217, totaling approximately 135, square feet (SF) overall. The Southeast (SE) submarket experienced the majority of this absorption, recording 137, SF overall. Vacancy rates for all industrial product types remain low, with an overall rate of 8.6%. Although vacancy has risen from the historic lows we ve seen recently, demand in the market is strong and leasing activity remains healthy. The average net rental rate for all property types for Q2 217 was $9.21 per square foot (PSF). Office service (flex) property types continue to perform strongly, with an overall average rental rate of $12.51 psf. As has been the case over the last year, this trend can be attributed to the continued demand for value office space as traditional office users are squeezed out of higher priced office product. Subsequently, many landlords are seeing this as an opportunity to maximize rents and market flex space as a pure office alternative. Outlook The industrial market will more than likely continue to trend upward. Overall vacancy rates are maintaining a healthy level while rental rates remain stable. Deliveries appear to be in balance with market demand with more than 9, square feet of industrial product under construction. As population growth continues and more and more businesses flock to the capital city and expand their business footprints, we should expect to see demand for both warehouse/distribution and flex space increase as we move into the second half of 217 and continue this trend well into 218. cushmanwakefield.com

Job growth remains strong and the unemployment rate is still one of the lowest in the country, coming in at 3.4% versus the national average of 4.8%. Nationally, the technology sector is the leading industry for real estate expansion and that is certainly the case in as more and more tech companies relocate to or expand operations in the capital city. Additionally, s tourism industry continues to thrive, with millions of visitors making their way to each year and pumping millions of dollars into the local economy. Market Overview The Industrial market saw its streak of positive absorption come to an end as the market recorded negative net absorption of 29, square feet (SF) to end the first quarter of 217. New deliveries totaling 335,946 SF helped push vacancy rates higher for all industrial product types, with an overall rate of 9.5%. Warehouse/distribution vacancy was the lowest of all product types with an overall rate of 7.7%. Although vacancy has risen from the historic lows we ve seen recently, demand in the market is strong and leasing activity remains healthy. Several new deliveries, including the 116, SF flex building at TechRidge, have lessened the supply deficit and several other large facilities, such as the 231, SF Brushy Creek Corporate Center, have broken ground and will further add to supply levels. The average net rental rate for all property types for Q1 217 was $9.27 per square foot (PSF). Office service (flex) property types continue to perform strongly, with an overall average rental rate of $12.6 psf. This property type has consistently mirrored s red-hot office market, as traditional office users are priced out of expensive space and turn to value office alternatives. Outlook Consistent demand for newer warehouse and flex properties have pushed developers to fill voids in the market. As of close of 1 st quarter 217, there is approximately 6, square feet of industrial product under construction and another 1.5 Million SF of proposed industrial product in the pipeline. Although vacancy rates have crept upward when compared to the record lows we experienced in 216, healthy leasing activity and an everexpanding population base should keep demand for both warehouse/distribution and flex space strong throughout 217. cushmanwakefield.com

The technology sector is still the driving force behind this success and Fortune 5 companies continue to move to or expand their operations in. This has an indirect benefit for smaller businesses and the economy as a whole. s tourism industry remains robust as well.

Vacancy rates for all industrial product types remain low, with an overall rate of 6.4%, down from the 7.5% rate recorded in Q Although absorption has slowed somewhat as compared to previous quarters, lack of supply should continue to keep vacancy rates low and push rental rates upward. The average net rental rate for all property types for Q4 216 was $9.71 per square foot (PSF). Office service (flex) property types continue to perform strongly, with an overall average rental rate of $11.71 psf.

As of close of 4 th quarter 216, there is currently more than 84, square feet of industrial product under construction as compared to 34, SF at the same time in 215. With overall vacancy rates at near record lows and asking rates on the rise, we should see these newer deliveries leased up steadily.

This trend can be attributed to the continued demand for value office space as traditional office users are squeezed out of higher priced office product. -1 $ Q1 16 Net Absorption, SF (thousands) Asking Rent, $ PSF Overall Vacancy 2% 17% 15% 12% 1% Historical Average = 11% 7% 5% 2% Q1 16 Outlook continues to be an attractive destination for growing businesses. Large, established companies such as Amazon, Oracle, Apple, Google, and others have shown their commitment to and continue to expand their presence in the capital city. Additionally, existing local companies are continuing to add to their current footprints as their businesses reap the benefits of a strengthening economy. Nationally, the spotlight continues to shine on. In January, Forbes named No.1 for America s Next Boom Towns. This is evident as s population growth continues to climb at a record pace. With this increased population, demand for both warehouse/distribution and flex space will increase, and as supply continues to lag behind, higher rental rates and lower vacancy rates will continue across most submarkets.

The local unemployment rate also remains ahead of both the Texas rate of 4.6% and the national rate of 5.%. Additionally, the MSA continues to be a major job producer, adding more than 32, jobs to the area between October 214 to October 215 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). continues to be at the top of the list of fastest growing cities. According to Forbes.com, ranks number one in net in-migration population out of the 53 largest U.S. metro areas. This influx of new residents to the area is due in large part to low unemployment rates and strong job growth, indicating an extremely healthy economy. Market Overview The Industrial market recorded 385,165 square feet (sf) of overall absorption during Q This number brought the 215 year-to-date total of overall absorption to more than 1.7 million sf. The Northeast (NE) submarket experienced the strongest amount of absorption, recording 139,63 sf of overall absorption. Vacancy rates in the market continued their decline, as the overall vacancy decreased to 6.1% compared to 6.9% in Q Continued strong absorption rates coupled with low vacancy rates continue to raise average asking net rental rates. The average net rental rate for all property types rose to $9.94 per square foot (psf) for Q4 215, an increase of $.1 psf from Q Additionally, office service property types reported a significant increase, jumping $.24 psf from the previous quarter to an average rental rate of $11.4 psf. Net Absorption, SF (thousands) Asking Rent, $ PSF Overall Vacancy 2% 17% 15% 12% 1% Historical Average = 12% 7% 5% 2% Outlook The market continues to sizzle as more and more companies move or expand into the area. Demand for qualified employees has led to a surge in population, record low unemployment rates and increased job growth across the greater region. As population grows, need for both warehouse/ distribution and flex space will increase. Additionally, office service flex space continues to be a go-to, cost effective alternative for traditional office users looking to expand. This demand will most likely continue to push these rates even higher until developers catch up with demand and increase inventory. In the meantime, we can expect to see higher rental rates and lower vacancy rates across most submarkets.

For the third quarter of 215 the local unemployment rate was recorded at 3.2%, lower than both the Texas rate of 4.4% and the national unemployment rate of 5.1%. Additionally continues to rank first among the largest fifty metropolitan areas in the U.S. with the lowest unemployment rates. In addition, observed job creation continued to occur as 16,275 jobs were created through the city from August 215 to August 215. The city s ability to both maintain low unemployment rates in addition to effectively generate jobs indicate a strong and healthy local economy. Market Overview The industrial market experienced 535,22 square feet (sf) of positive absorption during the third quarter of 215. This quarter marked the tenth consecutive quarter of positive absorption in the industrial market, dating back to Q The Round Rock (RR) submarket experienced the highest absorption totals as 186,412 sf was absorbed during Q3. Strong absorption figures across the entire market led to the continued drop of overall vacancy. The overall vacancy rate for the third quarter was recorded at 6.9%, down 1.7 percentage point from the 8.6% vacancy rate recorded in the second quarter. Low vacancy and strong absorption figures have contributed to an expected rise in rental rates. The average direct rental rate recorded for all property types rose to $9.84 per square foot (psf), up $.84 psf from the recorded rent during the second quarter. Additionally, the average rental rate for office service property types increased to $11.16 psf, up from $11.4 psf during the second quarter. Outlook As vacancy continues to tighten throughout the industrial market, it is highly likely that rents across all property types will approach record highs rates. In particular, there is a high probability that office service rates maintain their sharp increase. This is due to the fact that they both provide a more cost effective type of space for traditional office tenants and that there is little inventory of this product type in many development pipelines. With these spaces at such a premium, it is possible many developments will shift towards the addition of more office service options to the industrial market as a whole.

17 SF 172,8 263, ,341 89,6 psf/yr MARKETBEAT INDUSTRIAL SNAPSHOT AUSTIN, TX A Cushman & Wakefield Research Publication Q2 215 ECONOMIC OVERVIEW The MSA continues to lead both state and national averages in unemployment levels. For the second quarter, the local unemployment level was recorded at 3.1%, ahead of both the Texas and U.S. unemployment rates of 4.1% and 5.3% respectively (U.S. Bureau of Labour and Statistics). These low unemployment numbers are especially impressive, when considering that 32, jobs were created from May 214 to May 215. has warranted much national attention for the ability to maintain low unemployment rates amongst the city s current population boom. A large portion of the job growth and generation can be attributed to the rapidly expanding and burgeoning technology sector, placing as a new powerhouse on the national tech landscape. VACANCY RATES BEGIN TO DECLINE experienced 558,22 square feet (sf) of direct absorption across all industrial property types during Q Q2 215 and marked the ninth consecutive quarter of positive direct absorption for the total market, dating back to Q The Southeast (SE) submarket posted the highest levels of absorption for Q2 215, recording 365,512 sf of absorption. The Northeast (NE) submarket also reported a strong quarter of activity experiencing 253,996 sf of direct absorption. The strong absorption activity in the NE and SE submarkets contributed to a drop in overall vacancy during this time. The overall vacancy rate dropped to 8.6% from 9.6% recorded last quarter. Similarly the largest industrial submarkets, the SE and NE, reported low overall vacancy rates of 4.7% and 14.8%, respectively. FLEX/ R&D RATES CONTINUE TO RISE The average direct asking rental rate recorded for all industrial property types was $9.36 per square foot (psf) for Q2 215, 4.% higher than the average rental rate of $9. psf in Q Rental rates for Flex/R&D properties experienced an increase on a quarterto-quarter basis, climbing to $11.4 psf, $.12 psf higher than the Q2 215 of $1.92 psf. High increases in Flex/ R&D rates were observed in the South Central (SC) submarket, and once again in the North Central (NC) submarket, which has experienced consistent quarterly escalations in psf rent averages. OUTLOOK The industrial market continues to operate in optimal conditions throughout the MSA. Many landlords continue to report both low vacancies in, Flex/ R&D and Warehouse/ Distribution property types. Recent construction has remained focused on generating large vacant blocks for users needing traditional Warehouse/ Distribution spaces. However the recent trend of extremely high demand for Flex/ R&D properties, combined with the inflated rates these spaces are quoting, create a landscape in which these property types might yield the greatest returns for both developers and landlords. Such situations could lead to many groups kicking off new construction for Flex/ R&D projects. Additionally, the case and need for these types of value-office properties is especially strong as a result of an office market which continues to tighten in vacancy and post historically high rental rates. The existing circumstances will likely contribute to an evolving industrial real estate market in the city as whole.
