Leasing Velocity Endures Summer
Boston
Bostons downtown office market performed well throughout the third quarter, measuring 178,000 Q3 Absorption: 178,000 RSF square feet of net absorption as well was 2.3 percent asking rate Asking Rate: $44.79/RSF growth. Somewhat surprisingly the market was lead by North and South Station which collectively absorbed 162,000 square feet, reducing their vacancy rates to 4.1 and 3.7 percent respectively. Trip Advisor and its subsidiaries continued making waves beyond their build-to-suit Center 128 project in Needham, by taking down roughly 72,000 square feet at 226 Causeway Street in North Station. Direct Vacancy: 8.6% The Class A market experienced a sluggish third quarter giving back 118,500 square feet. The Financial District and Charlestown were the culprits as they were the only negatively performing submarkets. Despite the overall weak performance, the vacancy rate remained healthy at 9.1 percent and asking rates mounted growth with mid and high rise rents frequently running into the $60.00 per square foot range and above. On the other hand, the Class B market surged forward with 296,500 square feet of net absorption and 2.7 percent asking rate growth. The market was lead by the Financial District and North Station which accounted for nearly two thirds of quarterly absorption. As a result of this quarters robust leasing velocity, the total Class B vacancy rate dipped to 7.8 percent and total availability measured an impressively low 13.3 percent. In addition to the active leasing market, Boston is experiencing a tremendous amount of development activity and investment sales. Towards the beginning of the quarter, PriceWaterhouseCooper officially confirmed rumors that it would be vacating the Financial District, following Vertex , State Street and Goodwin Procter to the Seaport in build-to-suit developments. Additionally, both residential and office tower cranes are rising across downtown as demand favors dense, vertical urban development. Overall, Boston is undergoing an expansionary demographic and cultural shift where businesses and employees are gravitating towards dynamic 24/7 lifestyle locations. Looking forward, expect positive growth as a more vibrant downtown emerges.

Cambridge
Cambridge posted 183,500 square feet of net quarterly absorption which lowered the direct vacancy rate to 5.9 percent and pushed the average asking rate up 3.5 percent to $47.85 per square foot.
Q3 2013
Route 128
During the third quarter, the Route 128 market absorbed 102,800 square feet, bringing its year-over-year tally to 179,500 square feet and raising the average asking rate to $22.73 per square foot.
East Cambridge submitted a strong third quarter, lowering the direct vacancy rate to 7.6 percent by absorbing 201,500 square feet. Amazons lease at 101 Main Street coupled with Alexion Pharmaceuticals 31,000 square foot lease at 55 Cambridge Parkway, Twitters 30,000 square foot lease at 141 Portland Steet and Blackbauds relocation into 30,000 square feet at One Canal Park solidified the eastern submarket. As a result, landlords aggressively pushed asking rates 4.9 percent with prime riverfront and upper floor spaces commanding well into the mid and high $60.00 per square foot range. West Cambridge carried last quarters positive leasing velocity into the third quarter and absorbed 36,000 square feet, drawing its year-over-year total up to 136,000 square feet. The emerging western submarket has benefitted from a growing amenity base and competitive asking rates in addition to its superior accessibility and Cambridge cache. Following Intuits relocation last quarter into 61,000 square feet at 150 CambridgePark Drive, the submarket has solidified its position and is poised for the strong growth that many locals have long forecasted. Meanwhile, on the surface Mid Cambridges negative 54,000 square feet of quarterly absorption masks the submarkets extremely sound fundamentals. The submarket was strickened by Management Sciences for Healths departure from 784 Memorial Drive, which left behind a large block of vacancy. Nonetheless, the direct vacancy rate still measured a paltry 3.2 percent and at $49.78 per square feet, the average asking rate will soon extend into the $50.00 per square foot range. Looking forward, expect the total Cambridge market to thrive as demand for Cambridge addresses and the proximity to its highly talented workforce continues, particularly with strong job growth forecasted across the medical and technology sectors.
The Route 128 West submarket continued strengthening its hold atop all suburban submarkets by dropping its vacancy rate to 11.9 percent following 60,500 square feet of quarterly absorption and 449,600 square feet over the past year. Amadeus 56,000 square foot relocation from 307 Waverley Oaks to 1050 Winter Street in Waltham and uniQures 53,000 square foot relocation into 113 Hartwell Avenue in Lexington marked the western submarkets largest quarterly transactions. Walthams leasing velocity showed few signs of weakening with Fleetmatics USA committing to 27,700 square feet at 1100 Winter Street, Intelligent MDX relocating from Cambridge into 26,000 square feet 285 Bear Hill Road and Fireman Capital occupying 17,500 square feet at 800 South Street. Similarly, the Route 128 North submarket posted 75,600 square feet of net quarterly absorption, led by Burlingtons emergence as the northern suburbs live, work and play epicenter. Thermo Fishers 56,600 square foot lease at 300 Jubilee Drive in Peabody and MicroLine Surgicals transition into 70,150 square foot at 50 Dunham Road in Beverley marked this quarters largest movers. Lastly, Route 128 South gave back 33,300 square feet despite Queen Harbors 14,600 square foot lease at 600 Longwater Drive in Norwell and Hallkeen Real Estates 15,200 square foot lease at 1400 Providence Highway in Norwood. The southern submarkets most polarizing news came from 130 Royall Street in Canton, where Dunkin Donuts space hit the market. Conflicting rumors suggest that the firm may relocate to University Station in Westwood, while others report Dunkin will renew at its existing location. The broad recovery and rising occupancy levels across the suburban landscape has restored confidence in the Route 128 investment sales market with 2.5 million square feet, valued at $525 million changing hands this quarter alone. Looking forward, expect continued activity as the Greater Boston market tightens.

Interstate 495
The Interstate 495 market strung together another strong performance by absorbing 192,200 Q3 Absorption: 192,200 RSF square feet and achieving positive asking rate growth. Despite evolving Asking Rate: $17.97/RSF tenant demand for live, work and play locations, the suburban I-495 market generally satisfies price sensitive tenant demand as well as larger, expanding firms that have difficulty finding big blocks of modern space in the tighter Route 128 and Inner Suburban markets. Direct Vacancy: 17.9% The I-495 market recorded positive quarterly absorption across each submarket, except for the Mass Pike which gave back 30,300 square feet. The strongest performance came from Route 3 North which measured 158,800 square feet of net absorption and over 2.1 percent asking rate growth. Verizon expanded at Lowells Cross Point, taking down another 92,000 square feet. Just to the north in Billerica, Mettler Toledo Thornton leased 50,000 square feet at 900 Middlesex Turnpike. In addition to Route 3 Norths strong performance, the remaining three positive submarkets collectively absorbed 64,000 square feet. Along Route 2, the National Aviation Academy leased 8,000 square feet at 55 Old Bedford Road in Lincoln. In the Northeast submarket, Andover remained active with Charm Sciences committing to the northern suburbs through its user purchase of One Riverside Drive. Despite giving back 30,200 square feet this quarter, the Mass Pike submarket continued experiencing asking rate growth and general positive momentum as the western submarket strengthened along the Route 9 corridor particularly in Natick and Framingham. Although not contributing to absorption, IDG Enterprises 92,000 square foot renewal at 492 Old Connecticut Path in Framingham highlights the demand for well located, amenity rich suburban locations. Looking forward, expect this shift in tenant requirements favoring newer, more efficient buildings that are located near amenities or offer on-site services to sweep across the market. In many cases, landlords are preemptively meeting demand by updating lobbies, common areas as well as refreshing building facades and window lines.
