1 Retail Loves the Holy City Even with 158,000 plus square feet (sf ) hitting the market in the fourth quarter of 2017, the vacancy rate continued its march downward dropping 0.8% to! Much of the rising tide in retail is fueled by single and multifamily development. If you just look at the top 11 mega developments underway they should deliver 78,000 plus single family homes over the next few years. This building growth is driven by the creation of solid manufacturing jobs from employers such as Boeing, Mercedes and Volvo. Much like many coastal cities, the barriers to entry such as rising construction costs, scarcity of prime sites and increasing impact fee s have fueled the increase in annual base rents from $20.00 per s 10% $24 8% $22 6% $18 2% $16 YE12 YE13 YE14 YE15 YE16 YTD17 Significant grocers are expanding or entering the region to meet the demands of the additional roof tops.

The dollar amount asked by landlords for available space expressed in dollars per square foot per year in most parts of the country. Retail rents are reported on a triple net basis where all costs including, but not limited to, real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance are borne by the tenant on a pro rata basis. The asking rent for each building in the market is weighted by the amount of available space in the building. This has the effect of causing rental rates on larger spaces to affect the average more than that of smaller spaces. The weighted average asking rental rate is calculated by taking the ratio of the square footage associated with the rental rate on each individual available space to the square footage associated with rental rates on all available spaces, multiplying the rental rate by that ratio, and then adding together all the resulting numbers. Asking rental rate averages only includes Direct Space that is being offered for lease directly from the landlord or owner of a building and does not include Sublet Space that is being offered by another tenant trying to sublet a space that has already been leased.
