market Report OFFICE SOUTH BAY >> The South Bay market continues to experience positive investment sale activity. >> Currently 210,000 of office space under construction and 272,488 under renovation >> The average asking rates in El Segundo were $2.52 P in Q4 2013 and reached $2.84 P in CONSTRUCTION No new projects were delivered to the market in second quarter 2015. There is currently 482,488 of office space under construction. The largest project is Elevon at Campus El Segundo, a fifteen building office campus totaling 210,000 complemented by high-end retail shops and restaurants. The campus is expected to by completed by next quarter. Renovation activity in South Bay remains strong, as 2201 E El Segundo Blvd, 2040 E Mariposa Ave and 2175 E Park Place in El Segundo are all slated to complete their renovations in 2015. These three properties total 272,488. ACTIVITY New leasing activity during the second quarter totaled 645,613 compared to 488,647 in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 32%. This is also the high-water mark in the last 4 years. The El Segundo/Beach Cities submarket continues to lead the South Bay market in leasing activity, recording 58% of the total activity. Leasing activity this quarter included: DaVita Healthcare Partners leasing approximately 184,000 at Apollo at Rosecrans. Their new HQ will span both 2175 E. Park Pl. (130,000 ) and 2120 E. Park Pl.

Average asking rents remained highest in the El Segundo/Beach Cities submarket ($2.84 P), and lowest in the LAX/Los Angeles/Westchester submarket ($1.58 P). In some top-tier buildings, particularly in El Segundo, asking rates have pushed well past the $3.00 P mark. Central Torrance saw the biggest jump in asking rents as the new ownership at 21250 Hawthorne Blvd increased rents by at least $0.35 for all 60,000 of available space. This caused a $0.16 increase for all of Central Torrance as the market already had the lowest amount of available square footage.

market Report OFFICE SOUTH BAY outlook The South Bay market continues to do well as tenants seek more favorable rates than they ll find in West Los Angeles, Playa Vista and Santa Monica in particular. As leasing activity has reached a four year high, we can expect to see larger blocks of space get absorbed in the next year or so. Rental rates continue to rise on the strength of El Segundo s tightening market. Value-add properties and strong tenant demand for creative space are creating profitable opportunities for those willing to take on renovation projects. The outlook for the overall South Bay market remains positive. market description The South Bay office market is comprised of 32.4 million, representing 9% of the total office space in buildings 30,000 square feet and greater in the Los Angeles Basin. Most of the space (64%) was built in the 1980s, and only 8% was built 1990 current. Nearly half (49%) of its space is contained within mid-rise buildings (5 13 stories), followed by 32 percent in lowrise buildings and 19% in high-rise. It has a large concentration of firms in aerospace (although much less than in the 1980s), automotive, telecommunications, information technology, healthcare, and business services, and is served by a highly educated labor force.
