NBS Financial has released its Third Quarter 2009 quarterly reports for office, industrial, retail and multifamily commercial real estate, as well as its economic report.
Office vacancy in Central City rose slightly from the previous quarter to 11.12%, with -272,692 sf absorbed. Two Class B buildings in Northwest were major contributors to this rise in vacancy and negative absorption. Vacancy in the suburban office markets rose about a percentage point to 20.59%, and Vancouver office vacancy rose to 18.42%.
Industrial vacancy increased to 14.94%, with -531,805 sf absorbed. One positive sign for the industrial market this quarter was Daimler Trucks North America’s decision to keep its Swan Island plant open. The plant had previously been scheduled to close in June 2010.
Vacancy in the retail market rose to 8.0%, with 365,818 sf newly available. The closure of all Joe’s Sports & Outdoors stores helped contribute to the increased vacancy, but Dick’s Sporting Goods leased a few previous Joe’s locations in the metro area.
Multifamily vacancy decreased slightly to 4.64%, which can partly be attributed to more tenants being active during the summer months; some landlords offered rent concessions and other incentives to attract tenants. Multifamily rental rates rose slightly.
