• One approach to quantifying distress is to utilize excess vacancy (330 MSF) and apply average psf value estimates prior to the pricing reset to arrive at estimated total value figures, which can be extended across a distress transaction cycle (last distress cycle unfolded over seven years during/after GFC) – See chart on the right.

• Overlaying the $42 billion estimated annual distressed volume across a seven-year forecast horizon shows that distressed volume will reach and exceed GFC-peak levels. • On a share (%) of total volume basis, obsolescence-related distress is expected to average 7.3%, and trend below the GFC prior peak of 11% recorded in 2009.
