3Q 2017 - Miami Occupier and Pricing Trends

DOWNTOWN PRICING HIGHLIGHTS

The last three quarters saw small bumps in Class A asking rates, ending this quarter’s direct quote at $44.83 PSF. The average, however, was down from year-end 2016’s $45.80 PSF. For prime, high floor spaces, one of the highest asking rental rates was $59.00 PSF for the 43rd and 44th floors at Southeast Financial Center. One of only a few remaining CBD penthouse spaces (34th floor) was at Citigroup Center, quoted at $57.00-$67.00 PSF. Miami Tower’s top two floors (46th and 47th) were priced at $51.00-$54.00 PSF while quoted rates for mid-level floors ranged from $46.00 PSF-$49.00 PSF and for lower floors, asking rates ranged from $43.00-$46.00 PSF. Pricing for Wells Fargo Center ranged from $43.00-$48.00 PSF. Third quarter 2017 asking rates at One Biscayne Tower ranged from $38.00-$44.00 PSF while the rental rate range was lower at SunTrust International, with quotes of $36.00-$40.00 PSF for all of its direct spaces. Also experiencing rising vacancy, Class B average rates still reached an annual historic peak this quarter at $27.98 PSF. Average quarterly quotes have stayed above $27.00 PSF since the beginning of 2016. Mirroring their Brickell counterparts, these buildings were surrounded by on- going new and redevelopment activity with accompanying amenities. The renovated 200 Building, located at 200 S.E. 1st Street, had an increase in third quarter quoted rates from $28.00-$34.00 PSF to $30.00 PSF-$34.00 PSF. The 142,000 SF building was purchased last year by New York-based Brickman. New World Tower’s quotes ranged from $34.00-$40.00 PSF. Both of these buildings cater to smaller office users. The Omni’s 130,000 SF availability had their midyear asking rates lowered from $40.00-$44.00 PSF to the current quarter’s range of $30.00-$40.00 PSF. The under construction Two MiamiCentral increased its quotes by $1.00 PSF over the quarter to $43.10 PSF but left intact the $49.10 PSF asking rate at Three MiamiCentral.
