VACANCY & ABSORPTION Demand for office space in Millenia/Metrowest was broad-based with the overall direct vacancy rate hitting 8.4% at the end of the third quarter 2018. Class “A” overall vacancy fell by 20 bps over the same period to 6.7% which is down 780 bps over a five-year period. Absorption was anticipated to remain positive for the rest of 2018 on strong leasing activity in both Class “A” and “B” assets. With zero new construction and current available space in the market tightening, the vacancy rate was projected to continue to remain in the single digits through 2019. ASKING RENTAL RATES Direct asking rents for Millenia/Metrowest ended Q3 2018 at $22.50 psf, up 11.1% in five years and is projected to grow higher on limited new construction and availabilities. Direct asking gross rents in the submarket for Class A space exceeded $25.00 psf in that same time period.
