industrial Trends
The 2010 to 2011 industrial real estate market was essentially fat but showed
indications that the industry is strengthening. While considered high, the 2011 year
end inventory vacancy rate stood at 14.36% as compared to 15.03% at year end
2010. An encouraging indicator of improving conditions was the positive absorption
of occupied inventory of 220,945 sq. ft. in 2011 as compared to negative absorption
of (62,748) sq. ft. in 2010. Absorption is the net change in occupied inventory.
Contributing factors for increased absorption were occupancy of additional bulk
warehouse distribution and fex space that had been vacant in the past. Vacancy
of smaller industrial buildings (5,000 sq. ft. to 10,000 sq. ft.) increased. Heavy industry,
meaning petro-chemical industry, will continue to lead this area out of a recessionary
market. The petro-chemical industry is back in a growth mode, aided in part by
State economic incentives and lower stabilized natural gas prices - which helping
area plants operate more cost efectively and restart shut down units. However, until
there is sustained economic growth, businesses will remain reluctant to enter into
long term leases. Landlords can expect to continue predicting rent concessions from
prospective tenants and on renewals of existing tenants for the short term. Land sales
were essentially non-existent. Still a disconnect between perceived market value
of property values by some sellers versus actual market demand. Some sellers still
holding on to post Hurricane Katrina property values despite signifcant increase in
vacancies since Hurricane Katrina. East Baton Rouge Parish permit dollar values for
new construction was down 22% but additions and expansions were up 60%. No
signifcant change in land or lease rates during 2011. Oil and natural gas exploration
has been increasing around the State. Local pipe and valve as well as other related
service industries should see an increased beneft from oil and gas exploration.
2011 year in review
The Committee identifed 103 vacant industrial buildings, 5,000 sq. ft.
or larger, in the Greater Baton rouge area comprising 3,624,175 sq. ft.
vacant space. The estimated 3,624,175 sq. ft. vacant space summarized by
the following sq. ft. building ranges:

The industrial real estate market will continue its slight upward trend. Our local
market lagged behind the downturn of the national economy and among the frst
cities to trend back upward. The large capital investment within the petro-chemical
industry over the course of the next few years will help stabilize our economy. This
will perpetuate additional growth the area is witnessing, both commercial and
residential. A few of the positive growth projects include, in part, new Renaissance
BatonRougeHotel,2012completionofWomansHospitalnewfacility,plannedJuban
Crossing retail and residential development, expansion of Baton Rouge River Center,
continued redevelopment of downtown Baton Rouge, and announced petro- chemical
expansions. Financial institutions are opening funding sources on commercial and

The frst quarter of 2011 pointed towards a slowly improving market, but hope of
a recovery quickly diminished as activity came to a halt in the second and third
quarters. The ofce market experienced a quick rebound in the fourth quarter of
2011 as several new tenants entered the market. A large number of these tenants
were a result of the state privatization of many departments. These companies
quickly absorbed large blocks of vacant or sublease space that sat idle for several
months.
Signs of the momentum gained in the last quarter of 2011 have continued through
early 2012. Area brokers are taking this good news with a grain of salt, and report
that tenants are still being extremely cautious, and that transactions are still taking
months to complete. As in 2011, early indications for 2012 are pointing towards a
slowly improving market, but skepticism from some area brokers we spoke with
remains. There is still concern that the activity we are seeing has been geared toward
shopping and not buying and buyers and tenants alike are carefully weighing their
options. Everyone is seeking out the best deal possible before making any decisions.
executIve OvervIew OffiCe LeaSinG aCTiviTy
As a result of the sluggish market, tenants and tenant representatives are hitting
landlords from all angles seeking multiple concessions, reduced rental rates, and
fexible lease terms.
Area brokers saw a marked increase the use of long formrequests for Proposals (rPF)
and Letters of Intent (LOI) seeking to pre-negotiate lease language and demanding
concessions that were out of line with our typical offce market. These requests have
been coming from small and large tenants alike, indicating the perception that
landlords have an open checkbook to make deals happen. Landlords in Baton
rouge have been able to keep leasing concessions in line with our typical market
conditions, but have been willing to give shorter lease terms (one to three years) in
hopes of a turnaround in the near future.
Leasing activity has been more prevalent in requests for space of 10,000 square feet
or more and in spaces 2,000 square feet or less. The amount of sublease in the Baton
rouge market space decreased from a high 242,000 square feet in March 2011 to
92,683 square feet in March 2012.
Occupancy rates in Baton rouge remained fairly fat at 82.99%, up from 82.83%
in March 2011, as the majority of the space absorbed was sublease space taken by
companies awarded state privatization contracts. Additionally, a large majority of
the leasing activity in late 2011 and early 2012 has come from relocations of existing
tenants within our market.
Class B & C buildings have been hit the hardest over the past two years. several of
these buildings have vacancies that have been unoccupied for 18 months or more.
spaces that are in need of updating, or have become functionally obsolete, have been
largely ignored by tenants since options exist in Class A properties or in garden offce
buildings. savvy landlords who have invested money in improving their buildings
have been able to attract some tenants, but they must remain fexible on lease
terms.

Sales activity in the offce sector continued to be slow in 2011 due to fnancing
concerns and market uncertainty. Additionally, a large gap remains between
buyers and sellers over value expectations.
Buyers are looking for exceptional deals and most sellers are having difculty
acceptingthatpropertyvalueshavedeclinedoverthepasttwoyears.Itisanticipated
that sales activity for arms length transactions will remain weak for the near term.
There were a few more distressed sales in 2011 as lenders have been more aggressive
in taking back troubled properties. This trend is expected to continue as banks
attempt to rid themselves of bad debt. There continues to be a lack of afordable
or stable investment properties on the market and investors are only seeking high
return or value add deals. Owner-occupant demand continues to be low as market
uncertaintyhas made most companiesleeryof buildingownership.Themajorityof
companies prefer to lease due to the fexibility it ofers.
Prudent buyers with good credit and cash will be able to fnd considerably good
deals, especially for owner occupants. However, quality ofce related investment
deals continue to be harder to come by due to tougher lending requirements and
higher cap rates.

The Baton Rouge ofce market is expected to continue a slow recovery
throughout 2012. Initial signs and activity seem to indicate that the darkest days
are over. With plans for further state privatization and positive outlook for the
petro-chemical industry; we expect that ofce demand should continue to increase
in2012.We expectthe majorityof activityto comefromrelocationsfromwithinour
market, but state privatization may continue to bring new companies to Baton Rouge.
If the petro-chemicalindustrycontinuesto turn around, look for growthfromlarger
engineering frms, who were forced to downsize as industrial construction projects
dried up during the recession. Additionally, if drilling activity in the Tuscaloosa Shale
proves positive, we could see overfow from ancillary business in the ofce sector.
Transactions will continue to progress slowly as companies take their time to evaluate
options and negotiate the best possible deal. Look for this trend to continue as long
as there is any national discussion about economic uncertainty.

ITS WHAT WE DO
EVERY DAY
PROGRAMSPOTLIGHT
One of the main goals of the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority (RDA) is the targeted
revitalization of blighted areas through development and economic development initiatives that
add value to the surrounding community and return services back to communities that were once
thriving. Early in our operations, market analysis proved the need for additional financing to
incentivize the rehabilitation or development of commercial and neighborhood retail in the
RDAs targeted areas. Thus, the Gap Finance for Commercial Development Program and the
Business Improvement Grant Program were both created to help meet these needs. The programs
work to reduce the cost of development and construction or rehabilitation in order attract private
investment to these distressed communities.
Gap Finance for Commercial Development (Gap-C)
Program Overview: Gap-C is a financial tool to incentivize real estate developers to build or
rehabilitate commercial developments in target areas. Though this programs budget is currently
limited, the intent remains to stimulate commercial revitalization of community-serving retail in
these target neighborhoods. Gap-C financing cannot exceed $500,000 or 30% of the total project
cost, whichever is less. The loan terms and repayment period will be determined by a third party
underwriter and approved by the Board of Commissioners.
Business Improvement Grant
The Business Improvement Grant provides an incentive to small business owners and owners of
commercial buildings to improve the physical setting while enhancing the neighborhood. This
financial incentive is available to improve the commercial corridors and neighborhood retail
environment within any of our target areas. The grant provides a reimbursable 75%to 25%
match of approved expenditures, up to $7,500 per storefront, for improvements to storefronts and
sites. The RDA has the discretion to award additional funds based on project merit for
improvements within critical redevelopment areas. Eligible improvements may include removing
old faade structures, installation of new awnings, canopies, signage improvements, landscaping
and other site improvements necessary to enhance the property. Some examples of active
projects include the Ogden Park Market shopping center located on Government Street in Mid
City, and the Renaissance Center building located on Plank Road.

a SUrvey Of SHOPPinG CenTerS in BaTOn rOUGe:
SPrinG 2012
This report was prepared from data collected from e-mail and telephone surveys of
shopping center managers, leasing agents, and owners conducted by members of
the Baton Rouge TRENdS in Real Estate Retail Committee. Surveys were conducted in
February and March. Extensive independent verifcation was not provided, however
quoted rents and/or vacancies that appeared anomalous were checked.
Description of the analysis
Once again our survey included breaking down data for anchored and non-anchored
spaces. We believe this is the best indicator of what small shop space is actually
leasing for. Previous surveys refected rental rates collected on a high-low basis, with
an average rental rate for each property calculated based on the high-low indicators.
This caused anchored centers (with typically lower rentals for the large spaces) to
signifcantly skew the rental fgures. As this is only the second year of breaking out the
anchor spaces in the rental survey, the reported rental rates should not be compared
to prior year surveys.
The shopping center survey analysis is structured as follows:
Suitesover15,000squarefeetareconsideredtobeanchorspaces.
Rentalratesfornon-anchorspacesarecollectedonahigh-lowbasis,withan
average rental rate for each property calculated based on the high-
low indicators.
Therentalsindicatedarerefectiveofvaryingleaseterms,withsome
shopping centers requiring expense reimbursements from tenants
in addition to base rentals and some shopping centers requiring no
additional reimbursements. To arrive at consistent rentals, any
additionalreimbursementspaidbytenants(generallyforCAM,
taxes and/or insurance) are added to each shopping centers calculated
average rental to arrive at a total average rental.
Attemptstosurveyeachshoppingcenteraremadeeachyear,however,
due to turnover in management and/or ownership, results for each shopping
center are not available every year. Comparison of the total surveyed leasable
space and number of shopping centers indicated in each time period should
not be taken as an indication of new construction and/or demolition, but as
an indication of properties for which data was provided.
TheVacancyRatefgurespresentedshouldnotbeviewedasamatched
sample, as the fgures for each time period refect the results for each
individual survey. They are, however, considered to be indicative of general
market conditions.
Onlyshoppingcentersofover15,000squarefeetofleasablespaceare
included in the survey. Numerous small strip centers throughout the Baton
Rouge area are excluded from the analysis due to the minimal size
requirement for the survey.
BatonRougestwoenclosedshoppingmalls,theMallofLouisianaand
CortanaMall,areexcludedfromthesurvey.Duetothelargesizeofthese
centers and signifcantly higher rentals collected for mall spaces compared to
standard multi-tenant retail spaces, these properties have historically caused
signifcant skewing of the vacancy and average rental results when included
in past reports. They were eliminated from the survey in 2007, with results
from earlier surveys revised to exclude these centers.
BatonRouges3completedlifestylecentersPerkinsRowe,TheBoulevard
attheMallofLouisianaandTowneCenterweresurveyedforthefrsttime
in 2008. As with the shopping malls, these centers collect signifcantly
higher rentals, inclusion of which would likely signifcantly skew the data.
These three centers are generally excluded from the fgures presented,
and specifc information will be given on these centers during the actual
presentation.

Also analyzed were new home sales in the Greater Baton Rouge market. New home
sales were analyzed based upon sale prices. The new home market was subdivided into
homes ranging in price from; $100,000 to $225,000, $225,000 to $300,000, $300,000
to $400,000, and $400,000 and up. Homes in the $300,000 to $400,000 category did
signifcantly better than the rest of the market, considering increases in volume and
price, as compared to last year.

in 2011 to 231, representing a rise of 7.44%. dollar volume rose 5.58% also. Pieces in
this category were stable, decreasing less than 2.5%. The bright spot is that inventory
dropped by nearly 36% in 2010 and 11.03% in 2011, so the market appears to be
absorbing the homes in this category. The current inventory in 2010 was 145 homes
and in 2011 that number had fallen to 129. The months inventory decreased by
17.18%. It appears that even with slow sales prices are holding and the inventory is
being absorbed in this category of new homes.

introduction & Summation
DatacollectedandanalyzedeachSpring&Fall(mostrecentlyinFall/Winter2011-12)
regarding apartment rentals and vacancies by Cook, Moore & Associates (CMA), the
LSURealEstateResearchInstitute,theCIDofGBRARandtheBatonRougeApartment
Association (BRAA) suggests that apartment vacancies in the Baton Rouge area have
returned to historical norms. Prior to Katrina, the Baton Rouge Apartment Association
wasreportingcity-widevacanciesat8%.Asimilarfgure(6%)wasreportedintheLSU/
CMASpring2005report.Forroughly3yearsfollowingthearrivalofHurricaneKatrina
(August 29, 2005), both survey sources were reporting less than 1% vacancy market-
wide. Vacancies have since risen. The fall/winter 2011-12 LSU/CMa report refects
6.84% vacancy market-wide (148 complexes surveyed). Our survey similarly
reported 6.9% vacancy in east Baton rouge Parish for January 2011.
We analyzed two sets of rental data (collected in the Spring and/or Fall of the last
several years), which difer by composition and number of properties included. The
larger matched dataset consists of 107 complexes, with a smallerb matched sample of
39 large (200+ unit) complexes also analyzed. rentals for the 107-complex matched
sample increased 1.7% from fall 2009 to fall 2011 (over a 24-month period),
though they were fat (0% increase) from fall 2010 to fall 2011. The reported
vacancy rate for the matched sample was 6.0% (up from 5.3% in fall 2009 and
2.5% in fall 2008; note that this fgure excludes consideration of the newly-built
& vacant units in the new complexes in lease-up). The matched sample of existing
units is a strong indicator of overall trends.
a bulleted summary of our key considerations & expectations is provided:
The diminished availability of mortgage fnancing for home purchases appears to
have substantially slowed the transition of renters to home ownership, resulting in
greater tenant retention. Tenants lacking a strong credit rating, income history and/
or assets for down payment now have much greater difculty in securing mortgage
fnancing and graduating to home ownership. This appears to have a been a catalyst
for absorption of the incoming units over the past 3+ years.
ThesupplyofrentalunitsintheBatonRougeMSAhasincreasedsubstantially(5,682
newapartmentunitshavebeencompletedsinceKatrinahitonAugust29,2005,610
units are under construction, and 714 units are proposed for construction by 2013
in the MSA; the total new rental supply for 2006-13 could hit 7,000 units). Market-
widevacancieshavereturnedtoalevelofroughly7%,thoughrentalincreaseshave
droppedwellbelowhistoricalnorms(averagerentalsremainedfatat$0.90/squarefoot,
refecting 0% growth, while 2% to 3% annually has been the historical norm). Economic
rents and occupancies (due to concessions, typically in the form of waived rentals, or
free appliances) have moderated in many market segments, as competitive pressures
to lease the remaining inventory of new/vacant units appear to still be having an efect.
Net absorptions for the new complexes, per discussions with owners and managers,
have predominantly hovered in the range of 10 to 30 units per month. The historical
norm for new complexes locally has been 15 to 20 units per month.
Considerationshouldalsobegiventothe1,954forsalecondounitsbuiltintheBaton
Rouge MSA during 2006-10.These have historically drawn primarily on the segment
of the market oriented toward owner-occupancy, but many have been acquired by
investors, or have been converted back to rental units by the original developers (who
have had difculty attracting purchasers capable of securing mortgage fnancing since
2008) and represent competition for traditional rental units. Absorption of these units
by investors has diminished greatly, as fnancing for these acquisitions has become
extremely difcult to secure.Virtually all proposed condo projects have been put on
hold(exceptforafew,small,student-orientedprojectsnearLSU).
The basic mechanics of housing demand are as follows: the national and local norm
has historically been roughly 2.75 people per household, so, for each 1,000 people that
have remained long-term in Baton Rouge as a direct result of Katrina, we should need to
have roughly 360 additional housing units to satisfy the incremental demand created
by such a population increase. As roughly 33% of the local units have historically been
renter-occupied, roughly 120 of these 360 units (per thousand residents) need to be
rental units. As the Baton Rouge areas long-term population has increased by roughly
30,000 due to Katrina (as well as the normal population growth we would normally

have generated), the local market should have been able to absorb roughly 3,600
new rental apartment units to satisfy the incremental long-term demand stirred by
Katrina without producing materially adverse impact on the existing rental housing
stock. While the Post-Katrina additions to the supply of rental units has exceeded this
mark, the single-family residential mortgage market wild card appears to have come
into play (as the adverse impact on market occupancies such an oversupplied state
should produce has not yet fully surfaced).
Akeyimpetusforthesubstantialconstructionin2006-08wastheGOZoneAct,which
generated substantial short-term tax benefts for those investing in newly-built realty.
To take advantage of the GO Zone benefts, however, new apartments in the Baton
Rouge had to have a certifcate of occupancy in place prior to december 31, 2008.
These federal tax incentives prompted initiation of construction for certain apartment
units that might otherwise not have commenced. The 12/31/08 deadline (and the
associated rush to complete units by then) might have resulted in a ripple throughout
the local apartment market, but for the other considerations discussed above. The
absence of this incentive should have slowed the infux of new units, though there are
stillroughly610unitsunderconstruction,and714moreunitsproposed/planned.
In Spring 2008, we expected the local apartment market to become highly
concessionary by the end of 2008, particularly in the Class A submarket. While it took a
while longer for the ripple to surface, by latter 2009 we began to see free month and a
free TV (or other similarly structured) concessions ofered at a number of the upscale
properties.Asthevastmajorityoftheincomingsupplyofunitshasbeenupscale,the
Class A properties appear to have felt the brunt of the competitive pressures from
the incoming units. Their competitive adjustments appear to now be forcing rental
adjustments by the Class B properties, who then put pricing pressure on Class C
properties. Nobody is bullet-proof.
There appears to be a short-term oversupply of apartment units in the Livingston
Parish submarket resulting from the completion of 3 complexes with a combined
total of 512 units. BRAA reported 32% vacancy in this submarket in their 2011 survey.
Absorptions in the 3 new complexes have, however, been strong (roughly 20 units per
month).

Baton Rouge experienced a recovery period in apartment construction from 1995
to 2005. During this period, 36 apartment complexes containing a total of 6,800
rental units (excluding for sale condos) were built in Baton Rouge. Very few of those
new complexes ofered standard, mid-grade apartment units (i.e., virtually all were
oriented toward niche markets, such as students or lower-income households). The
vast majority of the new supply over the past 20 years has been oriented toward
either more afuent tenants, or lower-income households.
Roughly 5,682 units have been completed since Katrina hit in 2005, 610 units are
under construction, and 714 units have been announced/planned for construction
bytheendof2013intheMSA;thetotalfor2006-13couldhit7,000units.Muchof
the new construction in 2006-08 was driven by tax incentives (either via accelerated
depreciation granted via the GO Zone Act, or via low-income housing tax credits
administered by Federal and State agencies). The new apartment complexes built,
underway and planned in Baton Rouge are listed on the following pages.

Not included in these lists may be additional properties (in the planning and/or fnancing
stages) for which the site has not been purchased, site plan approval has not been granted
and/or plans have not been publicly announced. As construction of new units cannot occur
without site plan approval and the process of acquiring such approval is highly political
and speculative (as can be the site acquisition process), inclusion of such properties in a
traditional pipeline analysis would be inappropriate.

III. Condominium Construction
A source of housing sometimes overlooked is for sale (investor and/or owner-occupant oriented) condo
construction. Numerous condo developments have been built over the past several years and most attracted reasonably
rapid absorption through early 2007 (typically 5 to 10 units selling per month, depending more on construction schedules
and availability than market demand). Absorptions since mid-2007 have been notably slower, as the reduced availability
of mortgage financing for condo purchasers has adversely impacted demand for condos. Only 2 small, student-oriented
developments and 3 suburban projects (totaling less than 100 units), however, have been built since 2008.
Additional developments are known to be in the works. With the weak recent absorptions noted, it is likely the
influx of units will slow materially. Until mortgage financing becomes more readily available for condos, absorptions
will likely remain slow.
