Research & Forecast Report RENO OFFICE Q3 2017 Office Market Heats Up as Temperatures Cool >>Vacancy decreased to 11.8% >>Positive net absorption of 36,041 square feet >>Construction is imminent with limited inventory The office market in Reno continues to tighten with the third quarter posting a positive absorption of 36,041 square feet, rounding out the year-to-date positive absorption at 77,048 square feet. The vacancy rate continues to decline quarter over quarter from 12.3 percent to 11.8 percent, making it the lowest the market has seen post-recession. Construction continues in the Meadowood submarket with McKenzie Properties new office building well underway, along with two other medical office buildings going vertical. We anticipate Charles Schwab will kick off the office construction at Rancharrah with their new building that they will occupy, in addition to having available space. Momentum continued into the third quarter and is anticipated to continue through the end of the year, evident by transactions that are scheduled to pencil in the fourth quarter. Several deals have already been announced, including a 29,490 square foot lease at 885 Trademark Drive to PODS for their contact center. Asking rents held steady this quarter at $1.65 per square foot per month full service; however, with vacancy continuing to decrease it is likely that we will see rents rise.

Absorption & Vacancy The Meadowood Submarket continues to tighten as 6140 Plumas Street, which had 21,866 square feet of vacant space, was sold and will be occupied by Ormat Technologies. The sale removed the vacancy and pushed the overall vacancy rate from 11.0 percent to 10.2 percent. In addition to Ormat occupying the entire 26,800 square foot building, the 5,000 square foot law firm, Silverman Kattelman Springgate Chtd, will be relocating so the actual impact on the market is a net 26,866 square feet of positive absorption. As the available options get absorbed, it is extremely constricting for clients to find property options in the Meadowood submarket. Most viable options have multiple offers or are in the final stages of contract, therefore the market anticipates vacancy to continue to decline in this submarket and another influx of positive absorption in the fourth quarter based on in-process deals. This will impact other submarkets as tenants turn to those with available options, most notably South Meadows. South Meadows also remained a top submarket with a dramatic decrease in vacancy from 12.5 percent to 9.8 percent and a positive net absorption of 16,030 square feet. Some significant transactions that did occur this quarter included 730 Sandhill Road, which had two suites that were vacant for some time but finally leased in the third quarter by Tectonics Design Group (who will occupy 5,200 square feet) and Dolce Vita Spa (who will occupy 3,000 square feet). Unfortunately, Apex Performance Solutions announced they are vacating 10,140 square feet. We also anticipate Doctors XL at 10539 Professional Circle will downsize in the fourth quarter as their space is currently being marketed. However, Lumos & Associates expanded at 9222 Prototype Drive by 4,000 square feet and now occupy a majority of the building. Finally, Lighthouse Real Estate Solutions will be relocating from Downtown to occupy 8,200 square feet at 9790 Gateway Drive and EP Minerals LLC leased 5,136 square feet at 595 Double Eagle Court. The Downtown submarket continues to remain strong by posting positive net absorption and decreasing the vacancy rate from 12.6 percent to 12.2 percent. With limited space available Downtown and its proximity to plenty of amenities, the asking rate remains one of the highest at $1.83 per square foot per month full service. In the Airport and Central Reno submarket, AT&T announced they will downsize from 82,934 square feet to approximately 20,000 square feet at 645 E Plumb Lane, however this will not hit as vacancy until their lease expires in the fourth quarter of 2018. Based on the lack of inventory for large blocks of space, Colliers anticipates the space will be back-filled prior to lease expiration. The building is owned by Majestic Asset Company who is a hands-on owner and has already started building improvements. The building has historically been a single tenant building but the owner is willing to convert to a multitenant option.

Sales The US Bank Centre at 5190 Neil Road hit the market for sale, which is well positioned in the strong performing Meadowood submarket. It is a great value-add opportunity with a 57.0 percent occupancy rate. As mentioned earlier, the vacancy in Class A space in the Meadowood submarket is extremely low and with this property providing high occupancy, once the property is back-filled, it should bring the vacancy in the submarket to historic lows, allowing developers to start construction.
