Several companies that have called Indianapolis home for many years are expanding current facilities while land prices remain low and consumer confidence and spending increases. Multinational companies joining the market make this an exciting time to witness the market s growth. During the quarter, net absorption was the highest since early 2007. Tenant demands for concessions are still prevalent; however, landlords are steadily increasing asking rates on available lease spaces. Vacancy levels are finally declining, especially in sublease spaces. CURRENT CONDITIONS Some amazing transformations took place during the first quarter throughout the Indianapolis industrial market. Positive net absorption reached 3.36 million square feet, a figure not seen since the first quarter of 2007 when net absorption was 4.6 million square feet. Absorption in early 2010 was just 404,000 square feet and 2.3 million square feet in early 2009. The cause of the high absorption during this quarter was due to Johnson & Johnson occupying its one million-squarefoot distribution center in the Southwest submarket. A multitude of notable new leases and renewals were signed during the quarter. Renewals include NSK Bearing Co. s renewal of its 136,240-square-foot lease in the Southwest submarket; Stericycle s OVERALL RENTAL RATES $0.32 $0.31 $0.31 $0.30 $0.30 $0.29 $0.29 $0.28 Rate per square foot, per month 1Q08 2Q08 3Q08 4Q08 1Q09 2Q09 3Q09 4Q09 1Q10 2Q10 3Q10 4Q10 1Q11 www.colliers.com

Additionally, Sky Enterprises leased 90,100 square feet in the Northwest submarket, and Venture Warehouse & Distribution renewed its 299,000-square-foot lease in the West submarket. All the submarkets that make up the Indianapolis industrial market had positive net absorption during the quarter. The Southwest submarket had the highest net absorption with 1,432,112 square feet. The South (643,684 square feet), the Southeast (72,149 square feet), the Northwest (30,14 square feet), and the Northeast (13,838 square feet) all had net absorption in the six-figure range.

The investment sale of North by Northeast I-III, a total of 306,408 square feet, sold for $9.9 million to Meritex Enterprises. The vacancy rate has also steadily improved since 2009. Early 2009 was the last time the market had vacancy rates below eight percent. During the quarter, the market s vacancy rate was 7.7 percent, which was a 1.2 percent decrease from the fourth quarter of 2010. The West submarket had a vacancy rate of 1.4 percent, the lowest in the market. Conversely, HISTORICAL AVAILABLE SPACE First Quarter 2011 Millions Square Feet 4 40 3 30 2 20 1 10 0 1Q06 2Q06 3Q06 4Q06 the South submarket had a vacancy rate of 1.3 percent, the highest in the market. The Southwest submarket, which had the most activity during the quarter, had a vacancy rate of 8.8 percent. A sign that the local economy has recovered from an industrial commercial real estate point of view is an increase in new construction and expansions by tenants who have been in the market for many years. Harlan Bakeries expanded its manufacturing facility in the Northwest submarket by 13,000 square feet. Dryer & Reinbold Racing is expanding its facility in the North submarket by 12,000 square feet to house a new machine shop.

Dallara will produce a new type of chassis for the IndyCar Series. The facility, which broke ground in November 2010, will also house the Indy Racing Experience simulator. IN THE MONTHS AHEAD Space demand will remain consistent in the months ahead. While there are several large deals in the market, there is no new speculative development. Speculative construction will remain void in the market; however several opportunities for land development exist. Asking rates will remain flat in the near term. The largest block of subleases space on the market is 360,000 square feet by ETS. Road developments and infrastructure improvements surrounding I-46 will increase the flow of goods and freight in the Southwest corridor. 1Q10 2Q10 3Q10 4Q10 1Q11 SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTION Sara Lee Corporation leased 281,000 square feet in Airwest 9 located in the Plainfield Business Center.
