With vacancy on a continuous decline, the conversation with developers is when to build. Rates are not yet at the level to support ground up speculative construction in the office sector, and unfortunately there are few developers that practice Buzz Oates' manifesto, "build and they will come." There are however a handful of build-to-suit requirements in the market where developers are more than happy to charge healthy lease rates for building and accommodating termed tenants. The Stockton City Council is fully supportive of new commercial development and has committed to offering an expedited plan review for new commercial buildings. Stockton The Stockton submarket vacancy rate fell to 12.1 percent in the first quarter of 2017. The vacancy rate dropped 90 basis points over this time one year ago and saw net absorption of 49,549 square feet for the quarter. The average asking lease rate for all product classes in Stockton was $1.33 per square foot per month, $0.05 higher than this time one year ago., a tax exchange driven investor, purchased four Brookside Class A buildings, making this investor the largest privately owned commercial real estate portfolio in the Brookside area with over 85,000 square feet. ' recent transactions have driven the Brookside Class A property values to record highs, averaging $241.90 per square foot. Lathrop The vacancy rate for the Lathrop submarket ended the quarter at 24.3 percent, an 840 basis point decrease from one year ago. The Lathrop average asking lease rates have also increased dramatically over this time one year ago, increasing from $0.80 per square foot to $1.07 per square foot. The small submarket which typically has very small changes in absorption saw no change in absorption for the first quarter and has roughly 50,000 square feet of available Class A and B space with no available Class C space. Lodi The vacancy rate across all product in the Lodi submarket decreased to 3.7 percent in the first quarter. During the first quarter the average asking lease rate for all product decreased by $0.15 as 9,460 square feet of Class A space was absorbed and 6,855 square feet of Class C space became available. The average asking lease rate for Lodi is now $1.17 per square foot. The submarket absorbed 6,108 square feet during the quarter leaving 35,000 square feet available in that market. Manteca The vacancy rate for Manteca followed the trend of other San Joaquin submarkets with decreasing vacancy and now has a vacancy rate of 1.8 percent with only 8,229 square feet available in the submarket, a decrease from 2.3 percent the previous quarter. A small portion of the available space in the submarket is sublease office space. The overall average asking lease rate for the submarket at the end of the quarter was $1.43 per square foot per month. Tracy Tracy was the only submarket to add space back to the availability increasing the vacancy rate to 4.5 percent at the close of the quarter. The submarket now has just over 24,000 square feet available for occupancy and had negative absorption of 8,379 square feet. The average asking lease rate for the Tracy submarket at the close of the quarter was $1.61 per square foot per month. There were three notable sales during the third quarter in the submarket. The sale of 2316 Orchard Parkway, 14,083 square feet of Class B office space, commanded a large price per square foot of $319.53 with a cap rate of 6.65 percent for the investment sale. Another sale of 9,558 square feet at 2680 Tracy Boulevard sold for $119.27 per square foot at a cap rate of 6.25 percent. The third notable sale in the Tracy submarket was a 1,490 square foot condo at 4600 S. Tracy Boulevard that sold for $198.32 per square foot. Outlook With lease rates still on the rise, we will continue to see owner/ user purchases in the market for companies that see themselves in business for the forseeable future. As Class A available space continues to tighten, tenants will be forced to look at third and fourth generation Class B space where tenant improvement packages are necessary and which in turn will command higher lease rates and longer termed leases. The Dow Jones unprecedented numbers over the past 60 days are beginning to cause concern for a looming market correction in the near future, however, most real estate and market analysts do not believe a severe correction is in store, rather a more likely slowing in leasing activity as related to rising interest rates is forecast. 4750 QUAIL LAKES DRIVE, STOCKTON 4750 Quail Lakes Drive, a prestigious Class B office building, offers high visibility and ease of access to I-5 North and South via March Lane. The available space includes a lobby area, multiple private offices, conference room, private restrooms, kitchen/ breakroom and plenty of storage. 2 San Joaquin County Research & Forecast Report Q1 2017 Office Colliers International
