Q3 2014 office minneapolis-st. paul office market report Vacancy Continues to Decrease; Tenants Flocking to Space that Dovetails Recent Office Trends market indicators Q3 2014 VACANCY NET ABSORPTION rental rate vacancy 25% VACANCY AND ABSORPTION TRENDS Vacancy in the Minneapolis-St. Paul office market continues to slowly decrease and is currently at 14.2 percent, down from 14.7 percent at Quarter Two. Overall, vacancy is lowest in the West submarket at 11 percent, compared to 18.9 percent in the St. Paul CBD, where vacancy is the highest. Vacancy among Class A properties in the West submarket is low at 8.1 percent. In the Minneapolis CBD, Class A vacancy went below 10 percent to 9.6 percent, the lowest in more than ten years, and a reduction from from 10.1 percent in Quarter One. MARKET trends Many companies are seeking quality Class A or renovated Class B space in well-located properties. Driving tenant space preferences is the desire to create efficient, collaborative spaces that appeal to top talent for recruiting and retaining the best employees. This is in contrast to a few years earlier, when economics played a larger role in decision-making even at premiere properties.

Even among Class A properties in the CBD and along I-494, there are properties with significant vacancies remaining where landlords must compete to renew existing tenants and attract new tenants. Class B properties with fewer upgrades are also offering attractive rental rates and concessions. www.colliers.com/msp

The Ackerberg Group is finalizing plans to go forward with Mozaic East, the second phase of its office development in Uptown. Code 42, a cloud-backup IT firm, is negotiating to lease space there. The company had strong demand for the 65,000-squarefoot office building it built in 2012. At the Mall of America, owners Triple Five Group plan to begin construction on a speculative basis this year on The Offices @ MOA with a planned completion date of August 2015. Transaction Highlights: > After purchasing Normandale Lake Office Park in Bloomington in 2012, Equity Group Investments and GEM Realty Capital Inc. are selling the property. They purchased it for $157 per square foot and are likely to sell it at a premium of potentially more than $250 per square foot. > 50 South 10th sold for $164,500,000, or $330 per square foot. Target signed a master lease there in 2012, but did not occupy the entire property. As other tenants leases expire in the future, Target will take over those spaces to make way for internal growth. > We saw a significant number of sale transactions occur this quarter where investors have plans to renovate or convert the property to alternative uses: - Shorenstein Properties purchased Washington Square and plan to renovate the three-building campus, which includes a parking ramp. Plans include taking advantage of the open space and high ceilings to attract technology-oriented tenants. - Heartland Realty Advisors also plan to renovate The 15 Building, which they purchased along with 25-33 South 5th for $10 million. - Heartland Realty Advisors also purchased the Plymouth building, and plan to convert that property to a hotel. > Macy s is selling their building at 700 Nicollet Mall. It is likely to be converted to office and/or residential space. > Hillcrest Development purchased the Minneapolis Public Schools former headquarters in Minneapolis. They are converting the building into office space, and are seeing strong leasing interest. The building s high ceilings, large windows, and brick structure appeals to creative office space users. Forecast Skyrocketing construction costs will be a factor for both tenants and landlords in coming months, as they will increase tenant improvement costs. There are a significant number of construction projects, including active multifamily development and construction on the new Vikings stadium, that are draining resources. In addition to a labor shortage for many positions, materials are expensive and becoming time-consuming to source. Future construction will be limited and mainly focused on development for corporate-owned campuses. Due to the very limited options and rapidly increasing rents for tenants seeking space along the 394 corridor and/or in the North Loop, these areas would be the most likely locations for multi-tenant development. Potential sites exist, but are dwindling, as land previously slated for office development is being used for residential construction. Uncertainty remains in both the Minneapolis CBD and Southwest submarket as construction is completed for corporations including Wells Fargo, Be the Match, and Xcel Energy in the Minneapolis CBD, and UnitedHealth in the Southwest. This activity will result in increasing vacancy at multi-tenant space as these users leave existing facilities. We expect steady activity over the fourth quarter of 2014, with absorption totaling approximately 1 million square feet for the year. - 7200 France Avenue South, an office building in Edina, was purchased, and the new owners are planning an apartment and retail development.
