3 3Q Despite a few underperforming submarkets, conditions are stable in the suburban office market. Quarterly Market Trends 2Q 3Q 19.6% 19.7% 2Q 3Q 125, ,424 sf Under 2Q 3Q 298,000 sf 511,036 sf Suburban Office Overview and Supply The suburban office market vacancy rate increased only slightly in the third quarter to 19.7 percent from 19.6 percent in the second quarter. This marks the end of a string of six consecutive quarterly decreases in vacancy rate. Surprisingly, the Lisle-Naperville submarket again showed the most dramatic improvement as its vacancy rate dipped from 23.1 percent in the second quarter to 21.9 percent in the current quarter. The Lisle-Naperville and North submarkets were the only two to post a vacancy rate decrease. Overall, market conditions are continuing to improve due to the reduction of inventory in Class A space as tenants continue to capitalize on low rental rates and large concessions packages. Steady leasing activity contributed to positive net absorption of 173,424 square feet, bolstered by the 276,575 square feet contributed by the Lisle-Naperville market. The North market also registered positive absorption with a total of 108,977 square feet. Year-to-date absorption totals positive 1,094,034 square feet.

Only one lease transaction greater than 50,000 square feet was completed when Nashville, TN-based Caremark completed a 233,000-square-foot renewal and expansion at Caremark Towers in Northbrook. Investment sale activity remained strong as several metro area properties changed hands. In particular, a number of Naperville properties were sold including the 354,000-square-foot OfficeMax headquarters, the 124,000-squarefoot Corporate Lakes III, and Washington Pointe, a 163,623-square-foot building. The former Pepsi Americas headquarters in Rolling Meadows was recently put up for sale and is likely to attract interest from buyers with an appetite for risk. Additionally, there were several other properties listed for sale including President s Plaza and 1700 Higgins (O Hare); Tri-State International (North); and Chatham Centre (Northwest). Although no new construction was delivered to the entire suburban area in the third quarter, construction on buildings 100,000 square feet and greater has picked up. Opus North Corporation has broken ground on a 160,000-square-foot speculative property at 150 Saunders Road in Lake Forest. Duke Realty has broken ground on Cadence at Conway Park, a 102,700-square-foot office project in Lake Forest expected to deliver in summer Duke has also recently purchased 16 acres in Rosemont with plans to develop a three-building Class A office campus Abs orption YTD Third Quarter December % 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Rate 1

Sublease vacancies stood at 2.3 percent, about average for all submarkets. Lease and Sale Activity Despite a nominal increase in vacancy rate, leasing activity was steady with a handful of small- to mid-sized transactions completed. The largest lease transaction of the quarter occurred when Maple Leaf Bakery completed a 26,425-square-foot expansion at 1011 E. Touhy Avenue in Des Plaines. Other notable transactions included ubid s 26,022-squarefoot sublease at International Tower and Hanley Wood s 25,000-square-foot new lease at O Hare Plaza One.

However this was still an improvement over the negative 169,138 square feet absorbed in the second quarter. While Class A and Class C properties achieved positive absorption, the negative 44,524 square feet of absorption in the Class B segment was damaging to the overall result. Despite negative absorption in the past two quarters, O Hare s year-to-date total net absorption figure is still positive, totaling 28,236 square feet There were no construction completions in the third quarter, however, Duke Realty Corporation has announced its purchase of 16 acres at Balmoral Avenue to construct up to 550,000 square feet of new Class A office space. Duke also has underway an 80,000-square-foot build-to-suit for GSA on the Balmoral Campus. Across Interstate 294 from the Duke development, the Village of Rosemont has broken ground on a $500 million entertainment and retail town center-style complex. It will include the largest indoor water park in the state, a 22- screen movie theater, a four-star luxury hotel, a bowling center, offices, retail stores, and an ice rink, much of it surrounding a "pedestrian friendly" town center that will serve as a hub for civic and social events YTD 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Rate

Lease and Sale Activity The largest lease transaction to occur in the Northwest market was a 24,084-square-foot new lease to Banc Tec at 2100 Corporate Drive, Addison.

Chatham Centre in Schaumburg has also witnessed a great deal of activity recently, as its occupancy rate has risen to more than 90 percent from only 65 percent 18 months ago. There were no major investment sales in the Northwest market in the third quarter, however, there are several buildings currently being marketed that should close by yearend.

Year-to-date net absorption in the Northwest market stands at negative 232,845 square feet There were no construction completions in the third quarter, however, Opus North Corporation is expected to close in the fourth quarter on 19 acres of land in the Northwest Point Business Park in Elk Grove Village.

While third quarter leasing activity in Lisle-Naperville was respectable, the real story was investment sales as several properties changed hands. Brandywine Realty Trust recently sold Corporate Lakes III, a 124,000-square-foot building in Lisle, to Colony Real Estate Advisors. Also, Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II acquired the national headquarters of OfficeMax, the five-story 354,000-square-foot Naperville office building at 263 Shuman Boulevard.
