SECTION ONE CHICAGO ECONOMY ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Total nonfarm payroll employment increased nationally by 560,000 in the first quarter of 2017, bringing the unemployment rate down to 4.5 percent overall at the end of March. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, first quarter job gains occurred primarily in professional and business services. According to the Illinois Department of Employment Security s (IDES) latest figures, the February 2017 unemployment rate for Chicago s total MSA, including parts of Northwest Indiana and Southern Wisconsin, was 5.3 percent, down from 6.5 percent in February 2016. Chicago s total MSA nonfarm payroll employment increased by 40,500 during the same time period, with gains occurring primarily in government and the financial sector. CHICAGO ECONOMIC ANALYSIS In March, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates for the second time in three months. The 25 basis point increase, from a range of 0.5 to 0.75 percent to a range of 0.75 to 1.0 percent, was widely expected. Two additional quarter point interest rate increases are projected for 2017. 12.0% 10.0% 8.0% 6.0% 4.0% 2.0% HISTORIC UNEMPLOYMENT RATE 0.0% 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Chicago MSA Unemployment Rate National Unemployment Rate CHICAGO MSA EMPLOYMENT CHANGE BY INDUSTRY (FEBRUARY 2016 - FEBRUARY 2017) Government 11,900 Financial activities 11,200 Education and health services 9,500 Construction 7,000 Leisure and hospitality 3,000 Trade, transportation, and utilities 2,000 Information 800 Other services (500) Manufacturing (700) Professional and business services (3,700) Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics 1

SECTION TWO CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The first quarter of 2017 was an exciting start for Chicago s CBD office market, which saw the vacancy rate at an exceptionally low 11.1 percent and 733,832 square feet of positive absorption. Tenants are moving into two of the first new office towers to have been developed since 2009, 444 W. Lake and 150 N. Riverside. The resulting shadow inventory is expected to cause vacancy rates to rise slightly by the end of the year, but increasing demand has left little doubt that Chicago s downtown office market will continue to grow. Key Indicators: CHICAGO ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Large deals signed in the first quarter by rapidly expanding businesses indicate that Chicago s CBD is well positioned to absorb the additional 2.2 million square feet of office space that is currently under construction. Chicago s CBD continues to attract corporations from the suburbs and other cities. Nielsen announced that it would be consolidating its suburban operations to its existing office in the CBD, which will expand by 144,000 square feet. Additionally, Kellogg announced that they opened a new office for about 50 employees in its global growth and IT departments at The Merchandise Mart, and Hickory Farms announced that it will relocate its headquarters from Toledo, Ohio to a 7,300 square foot office at 311 S. Wacker. Howard Hughes Corporation and Riverside Investment & Development released plans for a new 1.35 million square foot office tower at 110 N. Wacker, the site of GGP s current headquarters. The sublease market decreased by 111,212 square feet in the first quarter of 2017, bringing the total amount of available sublease space down to 3,944,077 square feet. Chicago s investment sales market started the year with another slow quarter. There were only four sales transactions completed with a total of 1.7 million square feet and $549 million in total sales volume. MBRE will no longer track the South Loop as a separate submarket. All buildings that were tracked as part of the South Loop submarket have been consolidated into the Central or East Loop submarkets.

NEW DEVELOPMENT TENANTS MOVE INTO NEW WEST LOOP OFFICE TOWERS Tenants are moving into two of the first new office towers to have been developed since 2009, 444 W. Lake and 150 N. Riverside.

The rapidly growing company will be relocating from 330 N. Wabash, where it currently occupies approximately 66,000 square feet. Outcome Health s lease will bring 515 N. State s occupancy up to 95.2 percent after being less than 50 percent for the past two years. The largest renewal of the first quarter was for Sidley Austin s 575,000 square feet at 1 S. Dearborn. The renewal is a big win for the building, as Sidley Austin occupies 70 percent of the property. However, it was likely a disappointment for multiple developers that had been hoping to launch their new office developments by signing a deal with the large law firm. Nielsen jumped on the suburban migration bandwagon, announcing that they will be consolidating all of their suburban operations to their existing downtown office and expanding their current 71,000 square foot print at 200 W. Jackson to 215,000 square feet.

ABSORPTION TENANTS MOVE INTO NEW DEVELOPMENTS There was a total of 733,832 square feet of positive absorption in the CBD in the first quarter of 2017, created primarily by tenants moving into the new developments at 444 W. Lake and 150 N. Riverside. Some of this positive absorption will be balanced out by negative absorption later in the year as these relocating tenants fully vacate their existing spaces. There was 138,965 square feet of negative Class A absorption in the Central Loop due to DLA Piper s move out of approximately 303,954 square feet at 203 N. LaSalle to relocate to the new office building at 444 W. Lake. This large amount of negative absorption was partially offset by 189,000 square feet of additional space occupied by J.P Morgan Chase at 10 S. Dearborn. The largest contributors to the positive Class B absorption were Clark Hill s occupation of 71,818 square feet at 130 E. Randolph and Conversant s occupation of 15,979 square feet at 101 N. Wacker. The largest contributor to the positive Class C absorption was the 68,082 square feet that Ann & Robert Lurie Children s Hospital moved into at 211 E. Chicago.

LEASE COMPARABLES RENTAL RATES STABILIZE The average initial net rent for new deals in the past year, across all classes, was $22.01 per square foot. Average renewal net rent across all classes was $20.47 per square foot. New and renewal rental rates all increased except for Class A renewals. Landlords may be offering better renewal rates to keep tenants from relocating to the shadow space created by new developments. The highest net asking rents for space at existing Class A properties currently on the market is $46 per square foot. The average estimated initial taxes and operating costs for leases signed over the past year was $17.17 for Class A properties, $14.35 for Class B properties, and $13.17 for Class C properties.

INVESTMENT SALES INVESTMENT SALES MARKET REMAINS SLUGGISH Chicago s investment sales market started the year with another slow quarter. There were only four sales transactions completed, with a total of 1.7 million square feet and $549 million in total sales volume. Two additional sales are currently pending. The largest sale completed in the first quarter was 181 W. Madison, which sold to HNA Group for $360 million, or $378 per square foot. Five new properties came on to the market in the first quarter, bringing the total number of investment opportunities up to seven, with a combined total of approximately 4.9 million square feet. Rising interest rates may negatively impact capitalization rates and valuations, which is expected to suppress the investment market in 2017.

FORECAST ADDED INVENTORY TO INCREASE VACANCY RATE The Chicago office market has experienced steady growth over the past couple years and is well positioned to absorb new inventory that is being added to the market. However, the overall vacancy rate can be expected to increase by at least one full percentage point over the next year. Also, rental rates in the CBD are not likely to increase significantly until the additional inventory and shadow space created by tenants relocating to new developments is leased. There were a significant number of large new deals and expansions signed in the first quarter of 2017, which is an indicator of positive momentum in the future. If this pace of deal execution continues, the market should be able to rapidly regain equilibrium. Investment sales activity is expected to remain subdued in 2017 due to rising interest rates, which can have a negative impact on capitalization rates and property valuations. In the meantime, many Class A buildings, particularly those in the West Loop, will be undergoing major renovations over the next few years to compete with the high level of standards set by the newly constructed trophy towers. Blackstone Group, for example, announced that it will be investing $500 million into Willis Tower renovations.

CENTRAL LOOP LARGE TENANT RECOMMITS There was 90,490 square feet of total negative absorption in the Central Loop this quarter. There was 48,475 square feet of positive absorption in Central Loop Class B and C properties, but it was outweighed by 138,965 square feet of negative absorption in Class A properties. The negative absorption was caused by DLA Piper vacating 303,954 square feet at 203 N. LaSalle when they moved into the new tower at 444 W. Lake. The Central Loop s overall direct vacancy rate increased by 66 basis points to 11.07 percent. However, some of this increase was due to a number of buildings being added to the Central Loop inventory from the South Loop submarket, which we are no longer tracking as a separate submarket. The largest deal signed in the first quarter was Sidley Austin s renewed lease for 574,812 square feet at 1 S. Dearborn. The lease renewal is good news for the Central Loop, as many developers had been trying to woo the company to new developments in the West Loop. The Central Loop s boundaries are the Chicago River (North), Wells Street (West), State Street (East), and Van Buren Street (South). The Central Loop includes the Financial District, as well as many government offices, law firms, and professional services. It is also beginning to attract growing start-up companies as well.

SECTION FOUR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GLOSSARY Absorption: The net change in occupied space over a given period of time. Unless otherwise noted, Net Absorption includes direct and sublease space. Asking Rent: The published rental rate for a space in a building, which may vary from the rent which is negotiated upon by the tenant and landlord. Central Business District: The designations of Central Business District (CBD) and Suburban refer to a particular geographic area within a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) describing the level of real estate development found there. The CBD is characterized by a high density, well organized core within the largest city of a given MSA. Rental Rates: The annual costs of occupancy for a particular space quoted on a per square foot basis. Sales Price: The total dollar amount paid for a particular property at a particular point in time. SF: Abbreviation for Square Feet. Sublease Space: Space that has been leased by a tenant and is being offered for lease back to the market by the tenant with the lease obligation. Sublease space is sometimes referred to as sublet space. CHICAGO MARKET OVERVIEW Class: A classification used to describe buildings, with Class A reflecting the highest quality and Class C reflecting the lowest. Direct Vacant Space: Space that is being offered for lease directly from the landlord or owner of a building, as opposed to space being offered in a building by another tenant (or broker of a tenant) trying to sublet a space that has already been leased. Initial Rate: The contracted starting rental rate for the third term of a lease. Inventory: The square footage of buildings that have received a certificate of occupancy and are able to be occupied by tenants. Calculated by adding the Rentable Building Area (RBA) of all properties in a market or submarket. Large Block: The amount of contiguous space available in a building in terms of square footage. Contiguous spaces over 50,000 square feet are considered large by MB Real Estate. Lease Comparable: Comparables are properties with characteristics that are similar in nature. Their signing lease rates and other contracted elements are aggregated to analyze contracted market conditions as opposed to asking market conditions. Market: Geographic boundaries that serve to delineate core areas that are competitive with each other and constitute a generally accepted primary competitive set of areas. Markets are building type specific and are non-overlapping contiguous geographic designations. Markets can be further subdivided into Submarkets. Net Rental Rate: A rental rate that excludes certain expenses that a tenant could incur in occupying office space. Such expenses are expected to be paid directly by the tenant and may include janitorial costs, electricity, utilities, taxes, insurance and other related costs. Preleased Space: The amount of space in a building that has been leased prior to its construction completion date, or certificate of occupancy date. Price/SF: Calculated by dividing the price of a building (either sales price or asking sales price) by the Rentable Building Area (RBA). Rentable Building Area (RBA): The total building square footage that can be occupied by or assigned to a tenant for the purpose of determining a tenant s rental obligation. Generally, RBA includes a percentage of common areas including all hallways, main lobbies, bathrooms, and telephone closets. Submarkets: Specific geographic boundaries that serve to delineate a core group of buildings that are competitive with each other and constitute a generally accepted primary competitive set, or peer group. Submarkets are building type specific (office, industrial, retail, etc.), with distinct boundaries dependent on different factors relevant to each building type. Submarkets are non-overlapping, contiguous geographic designations having a cumulative sum that matches the boundaries of the Market they are located within. Suburban: The Suburban and Central Business District (CBD) designations refer to a particular geographic area within a metropolitan statistical area (MSA). Suburban is defined as including all office inventory not located in the CBD. Tenant Improvement: Those changes to property to accommodate specific needs of a tenant. TIs include installation or relocation of interior walls or partitions, carpeting or other floor covering, shelves, windows, toilets, etc. The cost of these is negotiated in the lease. Total Vacant Space: Direct plus sublease vacant space. Under Construction: The status of a building that is in the process of being developed, assembled, built or constructed. A building is considered to be under construction after it has begun construction and until it receives a certificate of occupancy. Vacancy Rate: A measurement expressed as a percentage of the total amount of physically vacant space divided by the total amount of existing inventory. Under construction space generally is not included in vacancy calculations. Vacancy rate can be based on direct, sublease, or total vacant space. Vacant Space: Space that is not currently occupied by a tenant, regardless of any lease obligation that may be on the space. Vacant space could be space that is either available or not available. For example, sublease space that is currently being paid for by a tenant but not occupied by that tenant, would be considered vacant space. Likewise, space that has been leased but not yet occupied because of finish work being done, would also be considered vacant space. : Abbreviation for Year-to-Date. Describes statistics that are cumulative from the beginning of a calendar year through whatever time period is being studied. 20
